House Oversight Committee Chairwoman Vows To Subpoena Postmaster General

House lawmakers are stepping up their efforts to learn more about changes taking place at the U.S. 📮Postal Service.

Just a week after Postmaster General 👤Louis DeJoy testified before the House Oversight Committee, the committee’s chairwoman Rep. Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) is accusing him of failing to provide requested documents by her August 26 deadline.

In a letter to members of the Oversight Committee, Maloney wrote, “Over the past two months, hundreds of Members of Congress have requested information and documents from Mr. DeJoy regarding widespread delays across the country in mail, medications, and other critical supplies, as well as potential delays for election mail in November.”

She noted that members also requested documents regarding “previously undisclosed communications between Mr. DeJoy and the Trump campaign, anomalies in the process used to select Mr. DeJoy, and other matters.”

Maloney claimed the DeJoy has “downplayed the extent and gravity of these delays.” However, she said that news stories from around the country “have made clear that are far worse than previously disclosed.”

However, after repeated requests for documents, Maloney said, “Mr. DeJoy sent a letter to the Committee stating: ‘I trust my August 24 testimony before the Committee on Oversight and Reform clarified any outstanding questions you had.'”
