Chavez-DeRemer Resigns From Trump Administration
(Washington, D.C.) -- Former Oregon Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer is stepping down from her role as U.S. Labor Secretary amid allegations of misconduct. Chavez-DeRemer announced her resignation yesterday. Her tenure in Trump's cabinet was marred in recent months by an internal investigation into allegations of day-drinking and taxpayer-funded vacations, including at least one trip to a strip club in Portland. Her husband was banned from Labor Department headquarters amid sexual assault allegations, although he was cleared of criminal wrongdoing. The White House says Chavez-DeRemer is taking a job in the private sector.
