Overview
- A complaint to the Labor Department’s inspector general alleges she pursued an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate, including private meetings in her D.C. apartment and hotel rooms during travel.
- The filing also claims office drinking, staff being tasked with personal errands, and “travel fraud” by mislabeling personal trips as official business.
- Chief of staff Jihun Han and deputy chief of staff Rebecca Wright are cited as having knowledge of the issues and are reportedly part of the review.
- The White House and the department reject the accusations as baseless, while the named subordinate declined comment and said he has legal representation.
- The inspector general says it neither confirms nor denies investigations, and reporters note that some cited photos and video have not been independently verified.
