Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s security guard resigned amid an internal probe into allegations of an “inappropriate” relationship between the two, The Post confirmed.
Brian Sloan stepped down last week after being placed on leave as the inspector general’s office investigates claims he was involved in a romantic affair with the married secretary, sources said.
Chavez-DeRemer allegedly abused “her position” by seeking out the “inappropriate” workplace romance with her subordinate, The Post first revealed in January, citing sources and a complaint filed with the Department of Labor Office of Inspector General.
Neither the Department of Labor, a lawyer for Chavez-DeRemer nor Sloan immediately responded to The Post’s request for comment.
Sloan’s resignation, first reported Thursday night by Politico, came soon after two of the labor secretary’s top aides stepped down over separate allegations of mistreatment of staff and misuse of taxpayer dollars.
