Maloney, Democrat of New York and chairwoman of the House Oversight Committee, urged the immediate suspension of U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy after reports show he illegally reimbursed former employees for political contributions. While right-leaning articles highlight that Maloney’s committee issued a subpoena for documents she said DeJoy withheld from Congress, right-leaning articles highlight that DeJoy denied pressuring his employees to donate to President Trump during a testimony on August 24th.

Reuters published a centrist article reporting that Carolyn Maloney said that if the allegations are true, DeJoy faced “criminal exposure” for violating the law with the transactions and lying to Congress when he denied making them. White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows defended DeJoy, accusing Democrats of launching a political probe.
