Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s top aides are resigning from the department amid an inspector general’s probe into their alleged mistreatment of staff and misuse of taxpayer dollars for personal travel with the Cabinet official, sources told The Post. Chief of staff Jihun Han and deputy Rebecca Wright were offered the choice of resigning or being fired by the White House Monday night, roughly two months after department watchdog Anthony D’Esposito launched an investigation into the senior aides. People familiar with the probe indicated that investigators had gathered sufficient evidence of a “toxic” work environment created by the pair, including verbal abuse of staffers and waste of departmental resources on personal travel.
