US Labour Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has exited Donald Trump’s cabinet, becoming the third woman official to leave in two months. Her departure follows multiple misconduct allegations and ongoing probes. The White House said she will enter the private sector, while her deputy takes charge as acting secretary.

New York: US Labour Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has become the third member of President Donald Trump’s cabinet to leave within two months, amid controversies during his second term.

White House communications chief Steven Cheung announced her departure on X on Monday, saying she would be moving to the private sector.

Chavez-DeRemer faced allegations that she had an affair with a member of her security detail, took personal trips masked as official tours, drank in her office, and sowed chaos in her office.

All three cabinet officials who have quit are women; the other two are Attorney General Pam Bondi, who was let go this month, and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was dismissed last month.
