As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
President Trump nominates Keith Sonderling, the acting Labor Secretary, to serve as the permanent U.S. labor secretary. Sonderling has been leading the Labor Department since former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s departure in April. The nomination comes after Chavez-DeRemer left the Labor Department following whistleblower complaints of misconduct. The complaints included allegations of an affair with a member of her security detail, drinking on the job, and creating a hostile work environment. The Labor Department’s inspector general is investigating the allegations.
It’s another familiar scene: a Cabinet post opens up, and a nomination is made to fill the spot. The process moves forward, with the Senate set to consider the nomination.
