Trump's USPS Chief DeJoy Under Pressure Over Employee Straw Donor Claims
Postmaster General Louis DeJoy was under pressure on Monday following a report that he and his company allegedly pressured employees to make political donations to Republican candidates.
Former employees of DeJoy's company, New Breed Logistics in North Carolina, said they were reimbursed using bonuses after making the donations, according to a report by The Washington Post. This practice is illegal under campaign finance laws.
"Louis DeJoy's rise as GOP fundraiser was powered by contributions from co. workers who were later reimbursed, former employees say," said North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein.
It is against the law to directly or indirectly reimburse someone for a political contribution.
"Any credible allegations of such actions merit investigation by the appropriate state and federal authorities. Beyond this, it would be inappropriate for me as Attorney General to comment on any specific matter at this time."
