Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is leaving Trump's Cabinet after abuse of power allegations
2026-04-21
[SDUT] She was only (D-Ore) brought on as a sop to big Unions. Adios, Puta!
Her purpose accomplished already? Nice.
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is out of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet, the administration announced Monday, after a series of alleged abuses of her position’s power, including having an affair with a subordinate and drinking alcohol on the job.

Chavez-DeRemer is the third Trump Cabinet member to leave her post after Trump fired his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in March and ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month.

"Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be leaving the Administration to take a position in the private sector," White House spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement. "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."

He said Keith Sonderling, the current deputy labor secretary, would become acting labor secretary in her place.

Chavez-DeRamer’s departure follows reports that began surfacing in January that she was under a series of investigations. The news outlet NOTUS was the first to report her resignation Monday.
