I know, there's so many scandals in this admin it's almost impossible to keep up. Here's the relevant one to this person losing their job.

Bodyguard for Trump's labor secretary quits amid claims of boozy strip club trips and

The departure was the latest development for the scandal-plagued department following accusations of boozy work trips to strip clubs, trysts at casinos and a 'stash' of liquor in the Washington DC office.

Brian Sloan stepped down from his position last week, after being accused of having a romantic affair with the 57-year-old married Labor Secretary, Politico reports, citing two department officials.

He had previously been placed on leave amid the Department of Labor's Office of Inspector General's probe into allegations that Chavez-DeRemer engaged in unprofessional conduct.

An internal complaint previously obtained by The New York Post details how top staffers at the federal department were accused of 'travel fraud,' creating made up business trips using taxpayer funds to travel to be with family and friends.

It specifically claims Chavez-DeRemer had at least three meetings with her employee and alleged partner in September and October while either waiting for her security team to leave or after Chavez-DeRemer told the security team they weren't needed.
