Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is resigning from the Trump administration to take a position in the private sector, the White House announced Monday. Spokesperson Steven Cheung stated that she did a phenomenal job protecting American workers, enacting fair labor practices, and helping citizens gain additional skills to improve their lives.
The former Oregon congresswoman is the third member of President Trump's cabinet to leave her post in recent months, following the firing of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and the ousting of Attorney General Pam Bondi. All three departing cabinet members are women. This series of exits occurs as the president reshapes his team ahead of midterm elections.
Chavez-DeRemer's departure comes while she was entangled in a string of controversies and under internal investigation.
