Postmaster General Defends Brief Tenure Amid Concerns About Delayed Mail

Postmaster General Testifies Virtually To Senate Committee About Department's Ability To Handle Mail In Voting

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy says he wasn't trying to sabotage the mail system ahead of a mostly mail-in election. 

He testified before the Senate today about changes he made to the U.S. Postal Service causing delivery delays. 

He has since paused the changes so the mail system can manage the greater volume of mail while ballots roll in for November's presidential election. 

Democrats have accused DeJoy of trying to help President Trump get re-elected through slowing the mail system, but Wisconsin Republican Ron Johnson says they're spreading a false political narrative.
