Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer is facing an internal investigation after a complaint alleged she has been “abusing her position” by pursuing a relationship with a subordinate and drinking on the job.
According to a report from The New York Post, a complaint filed last week with the Department of Labor’s Office of Inspector General alleged that Chavez-DeRemer hosted a subordinate at her Washington D.C. apartment three times and twice in her hotel room while traveling.
She has also been accused of drinking during the day, keeping a stash of champagne, Bourbon and Kahlua in her office, and committing travel fraud by requesting her staffers concoct official trips to destinations where she can spend time with family or friends.
The Post report also cites sources who describe Chavez-DeRember as a “boss from hell” who demands that aides run personal errands for her and perform other menial tasks while at work. The Daily Beast has contacted the White House and the Department of Labor for comment. A spokesperson for the White House told the New York Post that the allegations were baseless.
