WASHINGTON — Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is under an internal investigation following an explosive complaint alleging she’s been “abusing her position” by pursuing an “inappropriate” relationship with a subordinate, according to sources and documents reviewed by The Post.
Chavez-DeRemer, 57, has welcomed her alleged paramour at least three times to her DC apartment and twice into her hotel room while traveling, alleges a complaint filed with the Department of Labor’s (DOL) Office of Inspector General last week, which has since begun a probe.
The former Oregon congresswoman is also accused of drinking in her office during the workday and committing “travel fraud” by having her chief of staff and deputy chief of staff “make up” official trips to destinations where Chavez-DeRemer can spend time with family or friends on the taxpayers’ dime.
White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers called the allegations “baseless.”
Sources also accused her of being a “boss from hell,” by forcing aides to run personal errands or perform other menial tasks while on the clock.
Chavez-DeRemer, chief of staff Jihun Han, and deputy chief of staff Rebecca Wright — whom the complaint alleges are “involved and have knowledge of these issues” — are all now under investigation by the DOL’s Office of Inspector General, according to sources and documents.
“These unsubstantiated allegations are categorically false,” said DOL spokesperson Courtney Parella. “Secretary Chavez-DeRemer has complied with all ethics rules and Department policies and remains fully engaged in carrying out the Department’s work on behalf of this historic Administration. The Secretary is considering all possible avenues, including legal action, to fight these baseless accusations from anonymous sources.”
“DOL OIG remains committed to rooting out fraud, waste, abuse, and corruption through objective, independent oversight of the U.S. Department of Labor,” the rep added. D’Esposito referred The Post to an IG spokesperson

Well....she IS a democrat....so....there’s that
Gulp....Nice yellow bikini!
As I recall many of us here had serious misgivings about this pick. I think she was a Dem who said right to work legislation should be banned.
Is that yellow bikini government issued?
Sounds like Lori Chavez is being slimed by Sen.Waxface Wyden (D)Oregon.
Why am I not surprised? The attacks on her from demoncrats in Oregon are nothing new. They hate her.
Maybe she can run for congress and represent the Silicon Valley.
I know that lighting matters. But for a 57-year-old woman, she’s kinda cute. I will now hand over the discussion to Laz.
Not sure why Trump advisors recommended her for the position. I guess he figured Tulsi was at least changing here spots so this demorat might have changed hers.
Laz will hit anything regardless of if they are a demorat or commie. I have principles and this rat will eat carpet if it’s up to me.
She was a Dem?
Uh oh.
Hope they enjoyed it.
I don’t know of any case in history of a woman known for being good to her staff
Wikipedia says she GOP.
A cougar in the Trump cabinet. Color me shocked.
She looks like she’d be a boss from Hell
The propagandists always want to blame the Democrats for everything but my Bible says “All have sinned” and yes she was a Republican in the US House.
Is that yellow bikini government issued?
= = =
Turn it in, now!
Them eyebrows though..
> I don’t know of any case in history of a woman known for being good to her staff <
Most of the women I worked for were that way. Unreasonable. Uncompromising. But I did work with one woman who broke the mold. She was pretty darn good.
Oh, wait. That wasn’t a woman. He was a weird, effeminate gay guy.
I guess that doesn’t count.
