美国劳工部长洛里·查韦斯-德雷默即将离开特朗普政府，将由劳工部副部长基思·松德林临时接任。
在德雷默手下任职的松德林将成为该部门的代理部长。她的离任正值一则举报人投诉指控这位劳工部长与安保人员存在不正当关系、上班饮酒，并利用公职人员为其私人旅行伪造公务行程，由纳税人承担费用。
“劳工部长洛里·查韦斯-德雷默将离开政府，前往私营部门任职，”总统助理兼白宫通讯主任史蒂文·张周一下午表示。“她在任期间表现出色，保护了美国工人的权益，推行了公平的劳工政策，并帮助美国人掌握更多技能以改善生活。”

查韦斯-德雷默的离任消息传出之际，美国监察长正对针对她的一系列投诉展开调查，包括她制造敌对工作环境、利用公务旅行进行个人休闲、与安保团队成员存在不正当关系，以及她的丈夫对劳工部官员做出不受欢迎的骚扰行为。
针对这些投诉的调查显示，查韦斯-德雷默曾要求工作人员为她和她的丈夫处理私人琐事，比如取干洗的衣服、买葡萄酒、整理部长办公室的衣橱，并以威胁手段确保员工服从。美国劳工部监察长获取的短信还显示，查韦斯-德雷默的家人经常向年轻工作人员发送私人请求和信息。据《纽约邮报》报道，另有投诉指控她上班饮酒，并在办公室存放私酒，该报于今年1月首次披露了这些投诉。

“能够在这一具有历史意义的政府中任职，为我一生中最伟大的总统工作，是我的荣幸和荣耀。在劳工部，我们为推进特朗普总统弥合劳资之间鸿沟、始终将美国工人放在首位的使命取得了重大进展，我为此感到自豪。我们开辟了通往高薪工作的新途径，让工人为人工智能时代做好准备，采取措施降低处方药成本，推动退休保障，以及取得了诸多其他成就，”查韦斯-德雷默在她离任的消息传出后在X平台上发布的声明中说道。
众议院议员对斯沃威尔未被更早曝光表示愤慨：“这太可耻了”：
“回想起我在加州农村打包桃子的第一份工作，它教会了我努力工作的价值——这一价值观我在这份工作和整个公共服务生涯中始终铭记。我们生活在世界上最伟大的国家，我非常感激有机会结识全国各地的工人，倾听他们的故事，并为他们和他们的家庭争取胜利，”她在感谢唐纳德·特朗普总统之前继续说道。

“虽然我在政府的任职即将结束，但这并不意味着我会停止为美国工人而战。我期待着未来的发展，因为我将前往私营部门，”查韦斯-德雷默总结道。

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez DeRemer is leaving the Trump administration and will be temporarily replaced by Deputy Secretary of Labor Keith Sonderling.
Sonderling, who serves under DeRemer, will become the agency’s acting secretary. Her exit comes after a whistleblower complaint accused the labor secretary of an affair with her security guard, drinking on the job and using staff to fabricate official travel for personal trips at taxpayer expense.
“Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be leaving the Administration to take a position in the private sector,” Assistant to the President and White House Communications Director Steven Cheung said on Monday afternoon. “She has done a phenomenal job in her role by protecting American workers, enacting fair labor practices, and helping Americans gain additional skills to improve their lives.”

The news of Chavez-DeRemer’s exit comes as an inspector general investigates a slew of complaints against her, such as that she created a hostile work environment, used work trips for personal leisure, engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a member of her security team, and that her husband was making unwanted advances toward Labor Department officials.
Reporting on the complaints indicates Chavez-DeRemer requested staff to perform private errands for her and her husband, like picking up their dry cleaning, getting them wine and cleaning out the Secretary’s closet, while using threats to ensure compliance. Text messages obtained by the Labor Department’s Inspector General also reportedly showed Chavez-DeRemer’s family members routinely sending personal requests and messages to young staff members. Meanwhile, other complaints have alleged drinking on the job and keeping stashes of liquor around the office, according to the New York Post, which first reported the complaints in January.

“It has been an honor and a privilege to serve in this historic Administration and work for the greatest President of my lifetime. At the Department of Labor, I am proud that we made significant progress in advancing President Trump’s mission to bridge the gap between business and labor and always put the American worker first. We created new pathways to mortgage-paying jobs, prepared workers to excel in the age of AI, took steps to lower prescription drug costs, promoted retirement security, and so much more,” Chavez-DeRemer said in a statement she posted on X after news of her leaving the department broke.

“Thinking back to my first job packing peaches in rural California, it taught me the value of hard work – a value that I have carried with me every single day in this job and throughout my time in public service. We live in the best country in the world, and I am incredibly grateful that I had this opportunity to meet workers across the nation, listen to their stories, and deliver wins for them and their families,” she continued, before thanking President Donald Trump.

“While my time serving in the Administration comes to a conclusion, it doesn’t mean I will stop fighting for American workers. I am looking forward to what the future has in store as I depart for the private sector,” Chavez-DeRemer concluded.
