Postmaster general agrees to testify before Senate, House lawmakers amid mail-in voting firestorm

Postmaster General Louis DeJoy on Tuesday agreed to testify on Friday before Senate lawmakers, setting up President Donald Trump's controversial pick for two blockbuster hearings within a few days amid a political firestorm over mail-in voting and claims that President Donald Trump is trying to "sabotage" the November election.

After Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., announced the Friday hearing, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer credited "immense pressure from Senate Democrats and the American people" with having "forced Senate Republicans to confront Postmaster General DeJoy's ongoing sabotage of the Postal Service."
