The Department of Labor is the federal agency charged with enforcing workplace standards and setting the example for ethical conduct across America’s workforces. In the Trump administration, however, it is now engulfed in a widening ethics crisis.
Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer is under investigation over allegations of misconduct, fraud and an “alcohol stash” found in her office, while her husband, Dr. Shawn DeRemer, has been banned from the department’s headquarters following allegations that he sexually harassed at least one female employee.
