Report: White House ‘Sidelined’ Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer Months Prior to Resignation

A report suggests that the White House had sidelined Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer months prior to her resignation.

White House official Steven Cheung confirmed on Monday that Chavez-DeRemer would be leaving her role as Secretary of Labor, which came months after she came under investigation due to alleged impropriety.

“Her tenure has been plagued by multiple scandals, an investigation into allegations that the secretary was engaged in an extramarital affair with a member of her security team and accusations of inappropriate behavior, like drinking on the job,” NOTUS reported.

“Multiple people have resigned from the agency amid the ongoing internal investigation,” it added.

According to Bloomberg Law, the resignation came after Chavez-DeRemer’s presence within the administration had dwindled over the past few months. Last week, for instance, when President Donald Trump held a meeting with top labor leaders, including Teamsters President Sean O’Brien, as well as building trades union leaders Sean McGarvey
