The United States Postal Service removed 711 mail-sorting machines from postal facilities — the highest level in at least four years — according to new court testimony from top-ranking agency officials
The United States Postal Service removed 711 mail-sorting machines from postal facilities -- the highest level in at least four years -- according to new court testimony from top-ranking agency officials.
In written testimony and documents submitted Wednesday to a federal court in New York, the postal service's director of processing operation disclosed the high number of removals, which is the most that occurred in one year of President Donald Trump's tenure and roughly double the machines USPS typically removes in a given year.
The decision to remove these machines was made before DeJoy started his post in June, during a significant mail decrease due to coronavirus, DeChambeau said in the written testimony. He said the machine removals stopped on August 18 at the direction of DeJoy, who has come under fire for changes he made to the postal service that have caused massive delays in mail service ahead of the election.
