Earlier this year, President Trump’s previous Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned amid an investigation into her husband’s sexual misconduct in the latest Cabinet shakeup.
She was the third Cabinet official to leave in Trump’s second term.
Then-Deputy Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling will replace Chavez-DeRemer as Acting Labor Secretary.
Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s husband, Shawn DeRemer, was under investigation for sexual misconduct.
