President Donald Trump announced Monday on Truth Social that he's nominated Acting Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling to take ​on the role permanently, which ​would require Senate approval. "It is my Great Honor to announce that I am nominating Keith E. Sonderling, the outstanding Acting United States Secretary of Labor, to be permanent. Keith previously served as Deputy Secretary and Chief Operating Officer and, during my First Term, worked at the U.S. Department of Labor as the Acting and Deputy Administrator of the U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division. Throughout his career, Keith has proven his dedication to delivering strong results for the Hardworking People of our Country, and I know he will do an incredible job in his new role. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP" Sonderling has been in the temporary role since April after then-Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned amid misconduct allegations. Subscribe to LiveNOW from FOX! http
