The Poisonous Legacy of Trump's Labor Secretary A scathing watchdog report on former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez DeRemer's tenure has shed new light on a toxic culture within the department.
The investigation by the Labor Department's Office of Inspector General found that Chavez DeRemer regularly drank alcohol during work hours, accepted expensive gifts without reporting them, and created an environment where subordinates felt intimidated and belittled.
This behavior is not just a matter of personal misconduct; it speaks to a broader pattern of disregard for the norms of public service.
