Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is leaving the Trump administration, the White House announced on April 20.

She is the third Cabinet member to depart this year. All are women. Her exit comes after the New York Times reported that an investigation of her leadership was underway.

The announcement came days after the New York Times reported that a Labor Department investigation into her leadership included text messages that DeRemer's husband and father allegedly sent members of her staff.

The agency’s inspector general has opened an inquiry into allegations of professional misconduct by Ms. Chavez-DeRemer and her closest aides. Investigators have spoken with several dozen witnesses and reviewed evidence and allegations that the secretary used department resources for personal trips, that she was having an affair with a member of her security team and that her aides tried to steer grants to favored political operatives. Ms. Chavez-DeRemer’s husband has been barred from the department’s headquarters, after female staff members accused him of making unwanted sexual advances.

There were also allegations the labor secretary drank on the job and had staff deliver her some adult beverages during official travel. Whether or not all these charges were true, it’s clear Chavez-DeRemer was a walking scandal-magnet. Worse yet, her sins weren’t lurid enough to make her a bad-girl MAGA celebrity. Her lapses in judgment and the bad company she kept could have happened in any administration. In the end, her Cabinet service barely lasted longer than her one term in Congress.

Politically, the appointment of Chavez-DeRemer (who had a mildly pro-labor record in Congress, unusually for a Republican) was thought to be a reward to Teamsters president Sean O’Brien, who gave Trump’s 2024 campaign some labor street cred by speaking at the Republican national convention and speaking warmly of the once-and-future president. It’s hard to see how O’Brien or any Trump-friendly union folk got much out Chavez-DeRemer’s tenure other than embarrassment.

Lots of freaks and gay sex in the Capital and White House under Dems.

I will gladly take someone who enjoys a fine wine or Bourbon in lieu of getting their ............ pushed in on Government property.
