The allegations include claims that Chavez-DeRemer, a former Oregon congresswoman, drank on the job in her Washington, D.C., office and had an affair with one of her bodyguards. 

Chavez-DeRemer’s senior aides, as well as her husband and father, had also come under investigation after they allegedly sent personal messages and made personal requests of young staff members in creepy texts, The New York Times reported last week.

.....

The allegations of misconduct under Chavez-DeRemer’s tenure at the labor department are extensive and multifaceted. 

In January, a complaint alleged that she had been “abusing her position” by engaging in a relationship with a subordinate, her bodyguard. Brian Sloan, a member of the secretary’s security detail, was temporarily suspended from his duties pending an investigation into the allegations. He eventually quit his position in March.

In February, the secretary’s husband of more than three decades, Dr. Shawn DeRemer, was banned from entering the Labor Department headquarters after being accused by two female staffers of inappropriate touching. DeRemer, 57, has denied all allegations. 

Earlier this month, three staff members filed formal civil rights complaints against Chavez-DeRemer, accusing her of fostering a toxic workplace and retaliating against women who came forward with sexual misconduct allegations against her husband. The complainants also described fearing retaliation for pushing back against directives and alleged misuse of official resources.

It's not as if we weren't warned that legalizing gay marriage would undermine traditional unions...

That in of itself is the Husbands problem.  If she did retaliate that is a problem.

You left out one that is also a problem.  Where she is accused of having staff prepare "business" trips that were really personal travel.
