Labor Secretary’s Husband Barred from Agency HQ Over Assault Allegations

Allegations from at least two female staffers say Dr. Shawn DeRemer, husband of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, sexually assaulted them at the Labor Department building. He has not been charged but has been barred from the agency’s headquarters as investigations by the Washington Metropolitan Police Department’s Sexual Assault Unit and the department’s inspector general proceed, with one incident reportedly captured on security video. The NYT and MS Now reported the claims; a police report mentions forced sexual contact in December, and officials did not immediately comment.
