Washington – President Donald Trump has appointed former Congressman Anthony D'Sposito as the Ministry of Labor.
D'Sposito represented the 4th congress district of New York from 2023 to 2025. In November he was defeated by Rep. Laura Gillen.
D'Sposito is also a former detective at the New York police department. He retired in 2020. From 2016 to 2023 he worked in the Hempstead (NY) City Council.
If this were confirmed, D'Sposito would replace the incumbent general inspector of DOL, Luiz A. Santos, who led the agency since Larry Turner was released on January 25th.
Turner was under 17 IGS, which was rejected by the Trump administration, a step that may violate the general law of Inspector from 1978. The law requires the president to “write the reasons for such a distance or transfer to both congress houses, no later than 30 days before removal or transmission”.
The law on the general independence of inspectors from 2022 expanded the requirements and explained that written communication must contain “content reasons, including detailed and case -specific reasons”.
Turner is reportedly under eight IGS who have filed a lawsuit against the administration for their shots.
