Trump Labor Secretary’s Husband Barred From Labor HQ Over 2 Assault Claims
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s husband has reportedly been barred from entering the Department of Labor’s Washington headquarters after sexual assault allegations surfaced. The move follows complaints from at least two female staff members, according to multiple national outlets.
The restriction places the controversy inside a Cabinet-level agency at a moment when workplace enforcement and oversight remain politically sensitive issues.
The Guardian first reported that at least two women accused him of sexual assault. The New York Times, Politico and The Wall Street Journal independently confirmed the access ban, citing people familiar with the matter. The reports state that the allegations were made by female staffers and that he is no longer permitted inside department headquarters.

It remains unclear whether law enforcement agencies are investigating or whether any criminal charges have been filed. The Labor Department has not publicly released findings from any internal review, and specific details about the alleged incidents have not been disclosed.
According to The Guardian, the access restriction followed internal complaints.
The allegations create potential political and operational challenges for the department, which oversees workplace standards and employee protections nationwide. Questions may intensify over how internal complaints are handled within federal agencies, particularly those responsible for labor policy.
Neither Chavez-DeRemer nor the Labor Department has publicly detailed what additional steps, if any, are being taken.
Further clarification could come as reporters continue pressing for comment and as any formal investigative outcomes become public.
For now, the matter remains under scrutiny.
