CREW Requests USPS Records on Louis DeJoys Conflicts
August 11, 2020
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has financial interest in USPS contractors that reportedly exceeds $30 million, raising questions of conflicts of interest. Additionally, DeJoy appears to continue to have unresolved conflicts with Amazon, a major USPS competitor. To date, the USPS has not released DeJoys ethics agreement, despite intense public interest in whether he will recuse himself from matters relating to those interests or whether he will divest them.
CREW has requested records from USPS asking for DeJoys ethics agreement, screening arrangement, and any other records related to his recusals or divestitures.
DeJoy is a Trump appointee who made over $2.2 million in political donations to the Republican National Convention and Trump campaign in 2016 alone. Given Trumps continual bashing of voting by mail, DeJoys appointment raised concerns that he would implement measures that would make it harder for voters to vote by mail in November. These concerns have alarmingly manifested with recent reports that DeJoy administered policies that have slowed USPS operationsincluding mail deliveryand reassigned or displaced 23 USPS executives last week.

(720 posts)2. I'm getting the sense that DeJoy is slightly clueless.
I mean, he's very consciously doing evil things, but I'm not sure that he was prepared for the intensity of the spotlight that has been turned on him. He's really stepped in it. I hope he folds.
