Pro-union Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns as labor secretary amid misconduct probe
The 58-year-old has been plagued by accusations of improper behavior.
Another member of President Donald Trump's cabinet is stepping down after a turbulent 13-month term at the Department of Labor.
The White House praised Lori Chavez-DeRemer's time as labor secretary in a statement Monday announcing that she would be leaving the administration to join private industry.
'While my time serving in the Administration comes to a conclusion, it doesn't mean I will stop fighting for American workers.'
"Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be leaving the Administration to take a position in the private sector," White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung said on social media. "She has done a phenomenal job in her role by protecting American workers, enacting fair labor practices, and helping Americans gain additional skills to improve their lives."
Cheung said Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling would become acting director of the agency.
