Jake Lahut / Monday, April 20, 2026
Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned as President Donald Trump's labor secretary on Monday, sources familiar with the matter told NOTUS.
Her tenure at the department was mired in scandal, including her husband being barred from headquarters after women employees reported he had touched them inappropriately. Chavez-DeRemer and a top aide reportedly texted women on staff to "pay attention" to the secretary's husband and her father around the office, according to the New York Times.
The department's inspector general had been investigating those messages and personal requests made of staff members.
