1:04Now PlayingThe White House said Monday that Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is leaving her post.
Communications Director Steven Cheung announced her departure on social media, saying she's done "a phenomenal job" and that she's taking a position in the private sector. Her deputy, Keith Sonderling, will take over as acting secretary.
Chavez-DeRemer had been under fire for months amid allegations that she abused her position, including allegations of an affair involving a subordinate and drinking alcohol on the job. She's denied any wrongdoing.
Chavez-DeRemer is the third Trump Cabinet member to leave. The president fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in March, and he ousted Attorney General Pam Bondi earlier this month.
