Former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned in April following allegations of misconduct. A report from the Labor Department's Office of Inspector General found that she violated numerous department policies during her tenure.
The federal watchdog concluded that Chavez-DeRemer oversaw a work environment described as toxic, intimidating, and humiliating. The report indicated that she created a hostile work environment and tolerated harassment within the agency.
Additionally, the investigation found that Chavez-DeRemer used public resources and government funds for personal travel, violating department travel regulations. The report further alleged that she violated alcohol policies and engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a member of her security detail.
