华盛顿——白宫周一证实，美国劳工部长洛里·查韦斯-德雷默将离开特朗普政府。
白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张表示，查韦斯-德雷默将出任私营部门职位。白宫宣布这一消息后，查韦斯-德雷默称在本届政府任职是“一种荣誉和荣幸”。
张表示，该部副部长基思·松德林将担任代理部长职务。
她的离职是近期特朗普总统内阁成员中最新一位离开政府的人士。本月早些时候，特朗普解雇了司法部长帕姆·邦迪，而国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆已于3月被替换。
查韦斯-德雷默此前曾面临审查，多家媒体报道称，美国劳工部内部监察长正在对其行为展开调查。哥伦比亚广播公司新闻尚未证实该调查是否存在。劳工部监察长办公室周一拒绝置评，一名官员也不愿确认调查是否存在或报告的进展情况。
《纽约时报》上周报道称，该部监察长正在调查查韦斯-德雷默、其高级助手及家属发给年轻工作人员的短信。
据熟悉情况的消息人士今年早些时候告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，在两名在该部门工作的女性举报查韦斯-德雷默的丈夫有不当触摸行为后，他被禁止进入华盛顿特区的劳工部总部。
查韦斯-德雷默此前曾担任俄勒冈州共和党联邦众议员，任期一届，后来连任竞选失利。
在国会任职期间，查韦斯-德雷默是少数共同赞助《组织权利保护法案》的共和党人之一，该法案是一套联邦工会保护改革提案，得到了民主党和主要劳工团体的支持。美国劳工联合会-产业工会联合会（AFL-CIO）这一大型工会联盟在查韦斯-德雷默获得提名时称赞其政绩，但对特朗普在有组织劳工问题上的立场持怀疑态度。

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer leaving Trump administration, in latest exit from Cabinet
April 20, 2026 / 6:14 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is leaving the Trump administration, the White House confirmed Monday.
White House communications director Steven Cheung said Chavez-DeRemer is taking a position in the private sector. After the White House announcement, Chavez-DeRemer called it “an honor and a privilege” to serve in the administration.
The department’s Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling will take on the role of acting secretary, Cheung said.
Her departure marks the latest member of President Trump’s Cabinet to exit the administration in recent weeks. Mr. Trump fired Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was replaced in March.

Chavez-DeRemer had been under scrutiny, with several news outlets reporting that her conduct was under investigation by the Labor Department’s internal watchdog. CBS News has not confirmed the existence of the investigation. The Labor Department inspector general’s office declined to comment on Monday, and an official would not confirm the existence of an investigation or a status of a report.
The New York Times reported last week that the department’s inspector general was looking at text messages sent by Chavez-DeRemer, her top aides and family members to young staffers.
Chavez-DeRemer’s husband was barred from the department’s headquarters in Washington, D.C., after two women who work there reported that he had touched them inappropriately, sources familiar with the situation told CBS News earlier this year.
Chavez-DeRemer previously served one term as a Republican congresswoman from Oregon before losing her bid for reelection.
While in Congress, Chavez-DeRemer was one of a handful of Republicans to cosponsor the Protecting the Right to Organize Act, a suite of changes to federal union protections backed by Democrats and major labor groups. The AFL-CIO, a large federation of unions, praised Chavez-DeRemer’s record when she was nominated, but was skeptical of Mr. Trump’s views on organized labor.
