Democrats have called for the investigation of the United States Postal Service and Postmaster General Louis DeJoy after he announced changes to its operations.
According to The Grio, DeJoy, who was appointed postmaster general in May, released a memo Friday saying two top executives would be removed from their roles overseeing day-to-day operations. Additionally, the memo announced 23 postal executives have been reassigned or displaced.
House Rep. Gerald Connolly (D-VA), chair of the House subcommittee responsible for postal oversight, called the reorganization “a deliberate sabotage” to the nation’s mail service and a “Trojan Horse.”
Rep. Kathy Castor (D-FL) tweeted Friday that she is “not going to let Trump & Republicans undermine our postal service.”
An anonymous postal service staffer told the Washington Post DeJoy’s choices and efforts to reassign people less than 100 days from the election is confusing.
