Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns

The resignation of Lori Chavez-DeRemer comes amid an investigation by the Labor Department's inspector general into claims of professional misconduct and abuse of power.

Reports have alleged financial improprieties and inappropriate relationships within her team, including a controversial billing incident at a strip club.

Chavez-DeRemer has blamed 'deep state' actors for the scandal, though her position had become increasingly untenable.

Her exit follows the recent departures of former Attorney General Pam Bondi and Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem.
