https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/14/politics/postal-service-inspector-general-reviewing-dejoy/index.htmlWashington (CNN)The internal watchdog at the United States Postal Service is reviewing controversial policy changes recently imposed under Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, and is also examining DeJoy's compliance with federal ethics rules, according to a spokeswoman for the USPS inspector general and an aide to Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who requested the review.
Lawmakers from both parties and postal union leaders have sounded alarms over disruptive changes instituted by DeJoy this summer, including eliminating overtime and slowing some mail delivery. Democrats claim he is intentionally undermining postal service operations to sabotage mail-in voting in the November election -- a charge he denies.
Agapi Doulaveris, a spokeswoman for the USPS watchdog, told CNN in an email, "We have initiated a body of work to address the concerns raised, but cannot comment on the details."
Last week, Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, and eight other Democratic lawmakers asked the inspector general to launch an inquiry into DeJoy on a number of fronts, including the nationwide policy changes he's made since taking over in June, as well as whether DeJoy has "met all ethics requirements."

(11,495 posts)4. Good question
If he does it will prove what everyone is saying about him using the USPS as a weapon to stop Democrats in November.

(11,495 posts)9. Yes she is doing a good job
I am glad she, and the others, got this going. It is going to backfire big time on trump, even though I am sure he will deny he had anything to do with it and point fingers at others to blame!
