Feds Overrule Sex Abuse Probe into Cabinet Member's Spouse

[RandySF]

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.

1. Federal prosecutors declined to file charges (overrule? daily Beast, you can do better)

Pirro’s office state that there is no evidence of a crime. It’s kind of crazy that almost every news item related to this administration involves someone better suited as a reality show actor. Here one comes to the rescue of another. This does not legally interfere with local investigations, but probably isn’t good news. The Cabinet member is also under investigation for alleged workplace misconduct, e.g., affair with bodyguard, private trips on federal $. It seems like every day there is scandal that would have at least sidetracked every other administration in my time. Welcome to 47, Not the Onion Years.
