Labor Minister Lory Chavez-DeRemer is leaving the Donald Trump administration.
On the 20th (local time), the White House said Minister Chavez-DeRemer will resign. The vacancy will be filled by Deputy Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling as acting Minister.
White House Communications Director Stephen Cheung said on X (formerly Twitter) that Minister Chavez-DeRemer "plans to leave the administration for a private institutional sector job."
He added that Minister Chavez-DeRemer "achieved results by protecting American workers and establishing fair labor practices, while helping Americans acquire new skills to improve their lives."
However, Minister Chavez-DeRemer has been embroiled in various controversies, including an inappropriate relationship with a member of the security detail, allegations of taking staff to a strip club, and drinking on duty.
This personnel move is the third ministerial change since the launch of President Trump's second term. Earlier, Homeland Security Minister Kristi Noem was dismissed in Mar., and Attorney General Pam Bondi also stepped down in early Apr.
