Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned as Labor Secretary following an investigation into a toxic work environment and unprofessional conduct.

The investigation found that Chavez-DeRemer, along with her chief of staff and deputy chief of staff, created a hostile work environment and regularly consumed alcohol during official duty hours. Witnesses described the work environment as toxic and intimidating. The deputy chief of staff was noted for making derogatory comments regarding employee appearance, race, and sexual orientation. Additionally, the report found that Chavez-DeRemer and the deputy chief of staff improperly combined personal and official travel, allowing the government to pay for personal destinations. The report also highlighted an inappropriately close relationship between Chavez-DeRemer and an assistant special agent-in-charge of her security detail. During a personal trip to Oregon, Chavez-DeRemer allegedly directed the agent to drop bills one-by-one onto a partially nude dancer at a strip club. The agent complied against his wishes after being instructed by another officer. Keith Sonderling is currently serving as the acting secretary of labor.
