Former Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer allegedly had an inappropriate relationship with her bodyguard, which created a hostile work environment for her subordinates, according to a report Thursday from the Department of Labor's Office of Inspector General. 

The OIG had initiated the investigation after it received an anonymous complaint in January. The complaint alleged that Chavez-DeRemer had an inappropriate relationship with the assistant special agent-in-charge (ASAIC) of her department's Division of Protective Operations, Fox News reported. 

The report, which did not name the agent, alleged that Chavez-DeRemer, her chief of staff, Jihun Han, and deputy chief of staff, Rebecca Wright, created a hostile work environment and regularly consumed alcohol on DOL property during business hours. 

In the course of the investigation, the OIG interviewed 38 witnesses who described the work environment at the DOL as "toxic, intimidating and humiliating." 

During an April trip to Oregon Chavez-DeRemer, who resigned that month, the ASAIC complied with Chavez-DeRemer's request to make an unplanned, off-the-record stop at a club that featured partially nude dancers, according to the report. The ASAIC assigned Chavez-DeRemer's driver to enter the establishment with her, and according to the report, she gave the driver a stack of cash and instructed him to give it to one of the dancers. 

The driver refused, but ASAIC insisted he comply, the report said.
