Did Trump’s ex-labor secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer force a staffer into a strip club? Shocking report emerges

A federal watchdog report has detailed allegations of a toxic, intimidating and humiliating workplace under former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer's tenure. The Labor Department's inspector general, Anthony D Esposito, found that 38 witnesses described the environment as such, with witnesses including top aides Jihun Han and Rebecca Wright.

The report detailed an inappropriate relationship between Chavez-DeRemer and a member of her security detail, and pressure from the Secretary and her aides to drink alcohol during work hours, ridiculing those who declined. The report also stated that Chavez-DeRemer relied on her staff for personal errands, going beyond their official duties, such as organizing her belongings and purchasing items for her.
