House Democrats said Monday that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has agreed to their demand that he testify next week about controversial changes he's making to the United States Postal Service amid a political firestorm over mail-in voting and claims President Donald Trump was trying to"sabotage" the November election.House Oversight and Reform Chairman Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y.
Maloney confirmed in a House Democrats caucus call on Monday that the Postal Service inspector general is investigating DeJoy's conflicts of interest and all staffing and policy changes he has implemented. Why is Congress scheduled to meet next Monday, during the Republican Convention, rather than now, while the Dems are having their Convention. They are always playing games. GET TOUGH REPUBLICANS!!!
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y. and Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., on Monday called for FBI Director Christopher Wray to open a criminal probe into DeJoy, accusing him of deliberately slowing the mail to give Trump an advantage in the November election. "President Trump has reportedly already cast his vote by mail. … But apparently he wants to make it harder for other people's ballots to be delivered on time," said Van Hollen."Make no mistake, this is part of a deliberate effort by the president of the United States to put out lies and misinformation."
Johnson has not yet publicly stated whether he intends to call DeJoy before the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
