Lori Chavez-DeRemer Resigns Amid Scandal

The Trump administration is facing fresh questions about its stability as Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer steps down.

The resignation follows a whistleblower's allegations of an inappropriate romantic relationship with a subordinate and the consumption of alcohol on the job.

Chavez-DeRemer has denied the claims, instead alleging a 'deep state' conspiracy against her.

Her departure leaves a critical vacancy in the president's workforce agenda just as Republicans brace for a challenging midterm election cycle.

The White House has not yet named a permanent successor for the role.
