Chuck Schumer wants more information about the selection of postmaster general Louis DeJoy. But he says the search firm used to select DeJoy, refused to cooperate with his staff, citing a non-disclosure agreement.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer reiterated calls Wednesday for the U.S. Postal Service Board of Governors to disclose additional information about the selection of GOP donor Louis DeJoy for postmaster general.
DeJoy has come under fire in recent weeks from Democrats over delays in mail delivery, particularly after The Washington Post reported that USPS warned election officials in 46 states that some ballots in November may not be delivered in time because of inconsistencies with different state deadlines and the agency’s delivery capacity.
Schumer, who spoke with DeJoy Tuesday, also sent a follow-up letter to him Wednesday asking for more detail about which operational changes would be paused and a list of locations where mail processing equipment and collection boxes were recently removed, among other issues.
