Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is leaving the Donald Trump administration, making her the third Cabinet-level departure in just over a month. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung confirmed the news, saying that Deputy Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling will take over as acting Secretary of Labor.
Chavez-DeRemer follows the departures of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and former Attorney General Pam Bondi. According to reports, she was called to the White House shortly before the news came out, where she was given a choice to either resign or be fired. She chose to resign.
