US Labour Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will leave the Trump administration to take a position in the private sector, the White House said on Monday.
Complaints had mounted for months against the head of the department that oversees work laws and administers unemployment benefits.
Chavez-DeRemer, 58, also was under internal investigation for potential wrongdoing.
In the announcement on Monday afternoon, the White House touted her "phenomenal job" as secretary, "protecting American workers, enacting fair labor practices, and helping Americans gain additional skills to improve their lives," Steven Cheung, White House director of communications, posted on X.
Keith Sonderling will take on the role of acting secretary of labor, he added.
