Former Oregon Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned as President Trump’s Labor Secretary. According to a statement from the White House, Chavez-DeRemer is stepping down to take a job in the private sector. Although, her tenure in Trump’s cabinet was marred in recent months by an internal investigation into allegations of day-drinking and taxpayer-funded vacations. Her husband was also banned from Labor Department headquarters amid sexual assault allegations, although he was cleared of criminal wrongdoing.
