Postmaster General DeJoy faces congressional probe into donations to Republicans
Congressional leaders Tuesday launched an investigation into embattled Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s alleged illegal straw man political donations to boost Republican campaigns.
DeJoy, already under fire for seeking to undermine the Postal Service as millions prepare to vote by absentee ballot, is accused of urging workers at his New Breed Logistics firm to write checks to President Donald Trump and other GOP candidates.
Allegations continue to swirl that DeJoy reimbursed the workers in the guise of larger bonuses, a practice that would violate campaign financing laws.
“DeJoy could face criminal exposure not only for his actions … but also for lying to our committee under oath,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement Tuesday.
