Labor secretary quits amid misconduct probe, reflecting Trump-era turnover

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned after an internal investigation alleged she directed staff to buy bottles of wine on work trips, stashed liquor in her office, pressured young female staffers to ‘pay attention’ to her family, had an affair with a security detail member, and arranged travel for personal reasons. Vox frames the move as part of a broader Trump‑era pattern of high turnover and loyalty‑over‑competence staffing at the top levels of government.
