Chavez-DeRemer Under Fire | Portland News

A damning new report from the Labor Department’s Inspector General reveals a toxic, intimidating workplace under former Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, citing allegations of policy violations, inappropriate conduct—including an alleged affair with a security detail member—and abuse of travel and alcohol rules. Staff reportedly ran personal errands during work hours, while senior leaders made hiring decisions based on appearance and publicly berated employees.
