The Postmaster General Is Under Federal Investigation Over Campaign Contributions  https://www.npr.org/2021/06/03/1002998881/the-postmaster-general-is-under-federal-investigation-over-campaign-contribution

The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating controversial Postmaster General Louis DeJoy in connection with campaign contributions made by former employees of the longtime businessman, a spokesman of DeJoy's confirmed Thursday.

Mark Corallo, the spokesman, said in a statement that the department is probing "contributions made by employees who worked for him when he was in the private sector."

DeJoy had been a Republican megadonor before he was appointed to lead the U.S. Postal Service during the Trump administration.

The Washington Post, which first reported on the investigation Thursday, had published a story last year on allegations from some employees at DeJoy's former company, New Breed Logistics, that they were pressured to contribute to Republican political candidates and then were paid back through bonuses.

Reimbursement efforts such as those could violate federal law.
