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.

Controversial Researcher Behind the FBI’s Fulton County Records Raid

ProPublica examines how Kevin Moncla, a controversial researcher whose Fulton County fraud claims have been rejected by election officials, has become a central figure in the federal probe that led to the FBI’s seizure of 2020 election records in Fulton County. Activists tied to Mitchell’s Election Integrity Network say the DOJ used Moncla’s materials in lawsuits against the county, though the underlying affidavit remains sealed and experts warn that relying on debunked assertions could undermine the raid’s legitimacy. Moncla notes investigators spoke with him and defends his 263-page report, while acknowledging a past voyeurism conviction but saying it has no bearing on his current research.
