Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer's top two aides resign amid IG travel fraud probe

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer's chief of staff Jihun Han and deputy chief of staff Rebecca Wright resigned in early March after the department's inspector general opened a travel fraud investigation. The probe examined whether the two aides fabricated official events to justify personal travel by Chavez-DeRemer at government expense. Both aides had been on administrative leave since mid-January. A third senior staffer, Melissa Robey, was later fired after cooperating with the IG.
