U.S. House panel calls top Postal Service officials to testify on mail delays

They called on DeJoy, a donor to Republican President Donald Trump, and U.S. Postal Service chairman Robert Duncan to testify in an Aug. 24 hearing.

“The President has explicitly stated his intention to manipulate the Postal Service to deny eligible voters access to the ballot in pursuit of his own re-election,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney said in a joint statement.

Democrats have accused Trump of trying to hamstring the cash-strapped Postal Service to suppress mail-in voting. Trump himself on Thursday said he had held up talks with Congress over a fresh round of coronavirus stimulus funding to block Democrats from providing more funds for mail-in voting and election infrastructure.

Trump later walked back those comments, saying he would not veto a bill that included funds for the Postal Service, and White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told CNN on Sunday said he would agree to $10 billion to $25 billion in fresh Postal funding. Democrats had sought $25 billion. Pelosi may recall lawmakers from a summer recess to address changes at the Postal Service a Democratic congressional aide said on Saturday.Our Standards:

The dems do like to hear your own childish voices... We suffered though the Russia thing, now a postal thing. All just bad socialist soap-operas.

Let the American voter know what GOP is doing in a pandemic !

Today I hope!

The US House is a pit of corrupt democrats seeking the overthrow of freedom so they can hand over the country to their NWO-Communist-cabal masters and beg for a reward.

Only stopping the Democrats from cheating even further!!

We don’t care. All political bullshit BlacksForTrump

Meaningless unless subpoenas are issued. SpeakerPelosi SaveTheUSPS

One would say the Postal Service is like gambling. You do not know whether or not the package will arrive when you buy the postage stamp.

So now that all their other plans have failed, the leftists have moved to the post office scandal. 🙄🙄

Here they come again ...

And of course its, Trumps fault. More bullshit.

Good luck with that.

They had better be willing to back up their demands with inherent contempt though.

No problem with getting my Amazon packages delivered. But now with the voting crap, the postal service is in complete disarray. Bullshit.

Hope they didn't send the invite through the mail?

The Constitution was written to protect us from Louis DeJoy.

Good idea. 💡

We have had mail delays for years....why now? Let's call it refusal to modernize because of unions?

Like that will accomplish anything.
