Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned her post according to two sources with knowledge of the decision, making her the third Cabinet secretary this term to leave the Trump administration.

White House communications director Steven Cheung on Monday confirmed Chavez-DeRemer’s departure.

“Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be leaving the Administration to take a position in the private sector,” Cheung said in a post on X. “She has done a phenomenal job in her role by protecting American workers, enacting fair labor practices, and helping Americans gain additional skills to improve their lives.”

Chavez-DeRemer had been facing a probe from the department’s inspector general for potential misconduct. That investigation has already resulted in multiple of her top staffers being placed on administrative leave and then ultimately leaving their posts.

The news outlet NOTUS first reported her departure.
