IG probe widens as Labor Secretary's aides are sidelined
An expanding inspector general inquiry into misconduct at the Labor Department has sidelined another close aide, Melissa Robey, on administrative leave, following earlier moves that put the secretary’s chief of staff and deputy chief of staff on leave. The probe centers on potential misuse of taxpayer funds for personal travel and other top-level policy violations, with the secretary denying wrongdoing and the White House backing her as investigations continue.
