Former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer maintained an inappropriate relationship with her bodyguard and ordered a member of her security detail to drop cash on \u201cpartially nude dancers\u201d during an Oregon strip club visit, the department\u2019s inspector general revealed in a report released Thursday.<\/p>\n

Chavez-DeRemer resigned in April, three months after The Post first reported on the inspector general probe into her relationship with security guard Brian Sloan and allegations she abused her position as a top Trump administration official.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe OIG [Office of the Inspector General] concluded that a preponderance of the evidence substantiated multiple violations of DOL [Labor Department] policy,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n

Chavez-DeRemer \u201cdeveloped and maintained an inappropriately close and unprofessional relationship with [Sloan] while he exercised supervisory and operational authority over her protective detail that was inconsistent with federal impartiality and preferential-treatment standards,\u201d according to the report.<\/p>\n

She also \u201cfailed to comply with DOL policy prohibiting harassment in the workplace,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n

The IG noted that there was not sufficient evidence \u201cto establish that Chavez-DeRemer and [Sloan] engaged in a romantic or sexual relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

The watchdog report also confirmed and detailed an April 2025 incident, first reported by The Post in February, involving Chavez-DeRemer taking subordinates, including her bodyman, to an Oregon strip club.<\/p>\n

During the \u201coff the record\u201d trip to the \u201cpartially nude\u201d establishment, Chavez-DeRemer \u201ctook money from her purse, gave the money to the driver [a member of security detail], and directed him to give it to the performer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the agent resisted and sought guidance from [Sloan], [Sloan] instructed him to comply with Chavez-DeRemer\u2019s requests,\u201d the report stated. \u201cChavez-DeRemer then took additional money from her purse and asked the agent to drop the bills one by one onto the partially nude woman.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe agent again hesitated and sought intervention from [Sloan], who told him to follow Chavez-DeRemer\u2019s instructions. The agent complied against his wishes.\u201d<\/p>\n

The report listed four other \u201careas\u201d in which Chavez-DeRemer broke protocol.<\/p>\n

She \u201ccombined personal and official travel in a manner inconsistent with DOL policy\u2026 possessed and consumed alcohol on federal property without proper authorization \u2026 directed government employees to perform personal tasks using official time and resources \u2026 and failed to report gifts through required channels.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the IG found evidence that substantiated \u201cmultiple violations\u201d of department policy by four Chavez-DeRemer subordinates, including Sloan.<\/p>\n

The IG obtained electronic hotel door lock records from two Las Vegas trips Chavez-DeRemer took with Sloan that \u201cappeared to indicate\u201d the two spent at least \u201cportions overnight in the other\u2019s room.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Post previously obtained images of Chavez-DeRemer sipping drinks poolside at the Las Vegas Red Rocks Casino Resort and Spa during an October 2025 trip with her bodyguard to celebrate her niece\u2019s 40th birthday party.<\/p>\n

The trip took place while the federal government was shut down.<\/p>\n

A witness also reported observing Chavez-DeRemer massaging Sloan\u2019s shoulders while seated behind him in a vehicle during a trip to Michigan, and hearing the bodyman make a comment interpreted as \u201csexual innuendo.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe asked whether he was tired, and [Sloan] responded that he was \u2018solid as a rock,\u2019 after which both laughed,\u201d the report stated.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Three fired former Chavez-DeRemer staffers \u2014 ex-chief of staff Jihun Han, then-deputy chief of staff Rebecca Wright, and former director of advance Melissa Robey \u2014 also failed to comply with several department policies related to workplace harassment, consuming alcohol while on the job, improper travel and misuse of government resources.<\/p>\n

The IG report noted that multiple witnesses reported that Chavez-DeRemer, in consultation with Wright,\u00a0 excluded agents from her security detail based on the \u201cperception that they were too old, physically unfit, overly rule-bound, or \u2018too MAGA,\u2019\u201d complicating efforts to keep the secretary protected.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last month, Chavez-DeRemer joined Log Cabin Republicans, an advocacy group for gay, lesbian and bisexual conservatives, as a member of its board of directors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The organization did not immediately respond to The Post\u2019s request for comment from Chavez-DeRemer.<\/p>\n
