The New York attorney general on Wednesday filed a motion in a court seeking to immediately block the recent operational changes within the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) aimed at helping the agency reduce costs.

The attorney general, Letitia James, has asked a U.S. District Court to immediately block the USPS from implementing its recent changes in a bid to restore postal operations to pre-June standards while her lawsuit plays out in court. James has accused the Trump administration of slowing mail operations in the lead up to the November presidential election.
