BREAKING: Trump’s corrupt Labor Secretary gets caught in a STUNNING strip club scandal — a mid-life crisis paid for by your tax dollars!
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is under federal investigation for keeping a stash of champagne, bourbon, and Kahlua in her Washington office, taking subordinates to an Oregon strip club on an official government trip, and allegedly pursuing an “inappropriate relationship” with an underling—all while taxpayers funded her travels across the country.
Apparently, this is what “draining the swamp” looks like under the Trump regime.
According to a sprawling internal probe reported by The New York Post, the married mother-of-two allegedly visited Angels PDX strip club outside Portland with subordinates on April 18 during a five-day Oregon trip that cost taxpayers $2,890.06. The trip was supposedly for official business—meeting with Oregon’s Democratic governor and touring an Intel facility—but ended with a strip club visit that investigators are now examining.
Travel vouchers show taxpayers paid $1,324 for transportation, $722 for lodging, $655 for meals, and $188 in “miscellaneous expenses.” Wonder what category the strip club falls under?
But it gets worse. Investigators discovered a booze “stash” in Chavez-DeRemer’s office this week—champagne and liquor that staffers say she was drinking during work hours. Because apparently running the Department of Labor requires bourbon on tap.
The probe, which has involved at least a dozen interviews so far, is also investigating allegations that the 57-year-old secretary had an affair with a subordinate, with investigators seeking video footage of at least five alleged meet-ups at her DC apartment and a Las Vegas hotel.
Her chief of staff, Jihun Han, allegedly tried to cover up the affair rumors months ago, instructing staff to “leave it alone” when questions arose. Both Han and his deputy, Rebecca Wright, were placed on leave on Monday after the investigation found they’d been providing “cover” for the secretary’s conduct and misleading the White House.
Wright reportedly told staff: “We don’t care how POTUS looks, and we don’t care what the White House tells us to do. We only care that the secretary looks good.”
The investigation has confirmed complaints that Chavez-DeRemer had Han and Wright “make up” official trips—finding conferences or events to justify travel so she could visit family or party in Nevada. She went to Vegas’ Red Rocks Casino at least four times last year, twice with her alleged affair partner.
On one “personal” Vegas trip, she celebrated her niece’s 40th birthday party while the federal government was shut down in October. Because when hundreds of thousands of federal workers aren’t getting paid, the Labor Secretary should definitely be partying in Vegas on the taxpayer’s dime.
Of her 53 official trips as secretary, 10 were to Nevada or places where she has family—Oregon, Arizona (where she owns a home), and Michigan (where her daughter lives). She set a goal of visiting all 50 states on an “America at Work” listening tour, but only made it to three dozen, blaming the government shutdown she was partying through.
Staff revealed they were told to remove items from her calendar that ethics lawyers might not approve of and just put them on her personal schedule instead. Because the best way to handle ethics violations is to hide them, apparently.
Despite all this, Trump “stands by the secretary” and thinks “she’s doing a tremendous job,” according to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.
Of course he does. The Trump regime has always been about rewarding loyalty over competence, excess over ethics, and corruption over accountability.
While American workers struggle with stagnant wages and Trump slashes worker protections, his Labor Secretary is allegedly having affairs with subordinates, drinking champagne in her office, taking staff to strip clubs, and billing taxpayers for fake business trips to visit family.
This is the swamp. This is the corruption. This is exactly what Trump promised to end—and instead made worse. The 99% deserve a Labor Secretary who actually fights for workers, not one partying in Vegas while the government shuts down.
It’s time to investigate and hold the Trump administration accountable. We must demand better.
