Feds Overrule Sex Abuse Probe into Cabinet Member's Spouse [View all]

The federal government has tossed the sexual assault case against the husband of one of President Trump’s Cabinet secretaries—even as police say their investigation isn’t done.

At least two female Labor Department staffers accused Dr. Shawn DeRemer, the husband of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, of unwanted sexual contact inside the agency’s Washington headquarters, including a Dec. 18 encounter that was captured on internal security cameras.

DeRemer told The Wall Street Journal he “categorically” denies the allegations and vowed to fight them.

The formal complaint was filed more than a month later, on Jan. 24, triggering parallel reviews by federal prosecutors and local law enforcement.
