Labor Secretary Resigns Amid Ethics Scrutiny, Heads to Private Sector
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns to join the private sector as Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling becomes acting secretary; an inspector general probe over potential misuse of taxpayer funds and other misconduct allegations has shadowed her tenure, with several staffers fired or reassigned, though she has not been charged. This departure makes her the third Cabinet secretary to leave Trump’s second term.
