Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns

Lori Chavez-DeRemer's resignation comes amid scrutiny over alleged travel fraud, an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate, and professional misconduct.

The White House confirmed her departure, stating she will transition to the private sector, with Keith Sonderling named as acting secretary.

Her exit follows the high-profile dismissals of Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi, signaling ongoing instability in the President's Cabinet.

The Department of Labor's Office of Inspector General had been reviewing multiple complaints against her leadership.
