Several Labor Department staffers are on leave as the inspector general investigates allegations surrounding Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, including potential travel-fraud tied to her chief of staff Jihun Han and deputy Rebecca Wright, and a separate formal complaint alleging an inappropriate relationship; the probe is led by IG Anthony D’Esposito, with the White House backing Chavez-DeRemer.
