Former Labor Secretary Resigns After Inspector General Report of Misconduct
Former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned in Washington, D. C.
after a Department of Labor Inspector General report alleged she had accepted unreported gifts, misused travel funds and attended a strip-club incident, prompting her departure days before a scheduled interview. The Inspector General investigation, detailed in an earlier report, said Chavez-DeRemer maintained inappropriate relationships with staff, assigned personal errands to employees and breached department rules on travel, alcohol and gift reporting, creating a hostile work environment.
