The inquiry centered on allegations that DeRemer, an anesthesiologist, inappropriately touched at least two female Department of Labor employees during visits to the agency, and he was barred from entering the department\u2019s headquarters. One incident during December was captured on security cameras, showing DeRemer embracing one of the women; he denies the allegations.The Labor Department\u2019s inspector general was conducting an internal investigation into Chavez-DeRemer when the allegations against her husband emerged, with several close aides placed on administrative or investigative leave during the process. The case was reported by the Washington Examiner and corroborated by other outlets such as bloomberg Law and the Wall Street Journal.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">DC police close sexual assault investigation into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/labor-secretarys-husband-banned-from-department-after-alleged-sexual-assaults\/\" title=\"... secretary\u2019s ... banned from department after alleged sexual assaults\">labor secretary&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s husband<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2511691\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The Metropolitan Police Department in <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/washington-dc\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"260\">Washington, D.C.<\/a>, has closed its <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/sexual-assault\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"143\">sexual assault<\/a> investigation into the husband of Labor Secretary <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/lori-chavez-deremer\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"11689\">Lori Chavez-DeRemer<\/a> after the U.S. Attorney&rsquo;s Office found no evidence of a crime.<\/p>\n<p>The inquiry was based on allegations that Dr. Shawn DeRemer inappropriately touched at least two female employees while visiting the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-labor\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1465\">Department of Labor<\/a>.
