Labor Secretary Resigns in Misconduct Probe, Third Cabinet Departure Under Trump

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned amid misconduct allegations involving her and top aides, making her the third Cabinet member to leave during President Trump’s second term. Acting secretary Keith Sonderling will assume duties as the White House noted Chavez-DeRemer will join the private sector. The inspector general has been probing a possible sexual relationship with a subordinate on her security team; earlier, two aides resigned amid travel-fraud inquiries, and her husband was barred from the department after accusations by two female staffers. Chavez-DeRemer said she would pursue a private-sector role while highlighting progress on skills training, AI readiness, drug-cost reductions, and retirement security during her tenure.

Colombian President Petro shakes up cabinet, causing market turbulence.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has called for his entire Cabinet to resign and announced that three parties will leave his governing coalition. The reshuffle follows Petro’s frustration with the way Congress has handled his proposed health care reform. The departure of Finance Minister José Antonio Ocampo is likely to make markets especially nervous. The rupture of the coalition with traditional and more moderate parties will hurt the administration’s political leverage and governability. Petro’s government will be far less willing to incorporate moderate public policy proposals.

Colombian President Petro shakes up cabinet, appoints new finance minister.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro has asked his coalition cabinet to resign as he seeks to reshuffle various ministers after his flagship health reform failed to reach the debate stage in the House of Representatives. Petro, Colombia's first leftist president, has faced opposition from centrist and right-wing parties in his cabinet, leaving him unable to fulfill his promises of reforming healthcare, labor laws, pensions, and the judiciary. The planned cabinet reshuffle has been criticized by opponents and allies alike, creating an "unprecedented crisis."
