Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has agreed to testify before Congress over recent changes to the U.S. Postal Service that have caused major postal delays nationwide and that threaten mail-in voting in the upcoming presidential election. DeJoy will testify at the hearing before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Aug. 24. Postal Service Board of Governors Chairman Mike Duncan also agreed to testify at the hearing. House Oversight Chair Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) sent a letter to the postmaster general Sunday, asking him to appear at an “urgent hearing” before the House committee three weeks earlier than Sept. 17, the day he’d originally indicated he was available.
