  "textContent": "Donald Trump’s scandal-plagued labor secretary resigned Monday, the White House announced.\n\n“Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be leaving the Administration to take a position in the private sector. 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,” White House spokesman Steven Cheung said on X.\n\nLori Chavez-DeRemer’s tenure was brief but tumultuous. The secretary was accused of having an affair with a member of her security detail, asking staffers to buy her alcohol at all hours of the day, and misusing government funds—including to throw herself a birthday party.\n\nHer husband was also banned from Labor Department grounds after he allegedly assaulted two female staffers.\n\n_This is a developing story._",
