Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns

The White House has confirmed the departure of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who will reportedly take a position in the private sector.

Her resignation follows a turbulent tenure marked by an internal investigation into her husband's conduct and allegations of personal misuse of department resources.

Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling has been named as the acting head of the Labor Department.

This latest exit highlights ongoing instability within the second Trump administration's cabinet as it prepares for midterm elections.
