## Resource

A damning new report from the Department of Labor’s Inspector General reveals a toxic, policy-breaking tenure for former Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer — including staff forced to run personal errands like organizing her closet, mixing official travel with private trips, and enduring verbal abuse and threats. The investigation uncovered alleged inappropriate conduct with a security agent, including golfing, gambling, and hotel stays together — even after he was placed on leave. Other red flags: alcohol on federal property, unreported gifts like rodeo tickets and custom wallets, and an incident where she allegedly ordered a driver to pay a stripper during a personal Oregon trip — all painting a picture of a hostile, abusive workplace that violated department norms.
