Labor Nominees on Hold After Ethics Fallout | US News

Published 2 days, 20 hours ago
Description

Senator Bill Cassidy is halting four of President Trump’s labor nominees after a damning 44-page inspector general report exposes serious misconduct by former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer—including violations of ethics, travel, alcohol, and workplace conduct rules—and paints her office as a toxic, intimidating environment where staff faced threats and humiliation. With over 50 witnesses and hundreds of documents reviewed, the report found she failed to follow department policies, mixed personal and work travel, accepted improper gifts, and had staff perform personal errands—all while resigning just before investigators arrived. Cassidy now demands full briefing on these findings before any further labor nominees can proceed.
