Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s exit marks third high-profile departure from Trump administration in recent weeks

Donald Trump’s Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned in the wake of allegations of misconduct in office, marking the third high-profile departure from the president’s Cabinet within recent weeks.

Inquiries into complaints about her leadership — alleging abuses of her position’s power, having an affair with a subordinate and drinking alcohol on the job — have also forced out at least four other officials within the nation’s labor agency, including her former chief of staff and deputy chief of staff, among others.

Another staffer was fired late last month after she sat for a four-hour interview with the department’s inspector general.

    I don’t have a problem with the state behavior necessarily, I have a problem with fascists though. Got to hell bitch.

      I have a problem with sleeping with a subordinate. Especially when you’re the labor secretary. Also wouldn’t be surprised if she’s drunk on the job

        I see where you’re coming from here, and I’m mostly agree with you, but I also would not be entirely against my boss if she was attractive. To me.

        I do not know where you would draw this line here, but said boss being a fascist tool should certainly be against that line in any case.
