Trump administration backs labor secretary facing misconduct probe

The Trump administration is rallying around Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer as she faces professional misconduct allegations that led to the suspension of two of her top aides last week.

The aides were named in a complaint to the agency’s inspector general alleging that they had scheduled personal travel during what were supposed to be official, taxpayer-funded trips, according to a report earlier this month in the New York Post. The embattled former Republican congresswoman was also accused of having an affair with a staffer and drinking in her office during the workday, the outlet reported.
