Trump Cabinet Member’s Staff Quit After White House Ultimatum

Two top aides to under-fire Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer are leaving after being told to resign or be fired amid a wide-reaching misconduct investigation.

Chief of staff Jihun Han and deputy Rebecca Wright were given the ultimatum by the White House on Monday, two months after they were placed on leave pending a review by the department’s internal watchdog into Chavez-DeRemer’s office, the New York Post reported.

Chavez-DeRemer, an Oregon Republican, is facing mounting pressure after the Department of Labor’s Office of Inspector General announced in January that it was reviewing a laundry list of complaints and potential misconduct allegations involving her and the two aides.
