US Labour Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer announced on Monday that she will step down from her role, bringing an abrupt end to a turbulent tenure marked by mounting allegations of misconduct and internal investigations. The White House confirmed she will leave the administration to take up a position in the private sector, though no exact timeline for her departure has been disclosed.
Her exit follows weeks of speculation in Washington and comes amid wider churn in Donald Trump’s Cabinet, with senior figures such as Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi also departing in quick succession. Chavez-DeRemer, who took office in March 2025, had faced increasing pressure as multiple complaints and reports surfaced about her conduct in office.
