Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on Friday began his testimony on Capitol Hill in front of a Senate panel following complaints and criticisms about delivery delays and operational changes at the U.S. Postal Service. The testimony comes after Democrats sought to tie those allegations to a possible disruption to mail-in voting during November’s election.
DeJoy, in remarks to the panel via a live stream, called on Congress to pass a bill “that would provide the Postal Service with financial relief to account for the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition,” while saying that it is his “sacred duty” to ensure election mail delivery.
