Alsharq Tribune-Ahmed Essam 

U.S. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is leaving her post amid an investigation into alleged misconduct, becoming the third cabinet member to step down during President Donald Trump's second term.

"Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be leaving the Administration to take a position in the private sector," White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung wrote on Monday in a post on social media platform X.

"Keith Sonderling will take on the role of Acting Secretary of Labor," Cheung said. As the Deputy Secretary of Labor, Sonderling is the second-highest-ranking official.
