IG report details alcohol use, strip-club pressure, and improper travel at Labor Department
A federal inspector general’s report accuses former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer of drinking on the job, pressuring security to drop money to a stripper, and mixing personal travel with official duties, while highlighting a toxic work environment and other staff misconduct. Several aides were disciplined or dismissed, and Chavez-DeRemer resigned in 2026 before a planned IG interview; she now works in public affairs.
