Lori Chavez-DeRemer Resigns

The resignation of Lori Chavez-DeRemer comes amid whistleblower allegations involving an affair with a subordinate and alcohol use on the job.

While Chavez-DeRemer has denied the claims, attributing them to a 'deep state' conspiracy, her departure leaves a critical vacancy in the Labor Department.

The White House confirmed the exit as a months-long internal probe nears its conclusion.

This latest cabinet shake-up adds to the growing sense of instability within the administration ahead of the midterm elections.
