US Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer is to leave her job, the White House said Monday, departing after a tenure beset by a series of scandals including complaints over the treatment of young female staffers.
Her exit caps weeks of speculation about her future and follows the ousting of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi, within days of each other, as Trump's cabinet has become a revolving door for women in recent weeks.
