Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is making headlines yet again. This time, it's for an apparent (and very brazen) conflict of interest.
The Washington Post reports that Louis DeJoy awarded a $120 million US Postal Service contract to XPO Logistics -- a company that he and his family maintain financial ties with.
Those ties come in the form of four office buildings DeJoy owns that are being rented to XPO Logistics for a whopping $2.1 million a year. These leases could be worth upwards of $23 million over the next decade.
Louis DeJoy is a walking conflict of interest. He should have never been tapped as Postmaster General, and it's a disgrace that he's still serving in this position.
This is just the latest in a long line of controversies that have shrouded the USPS under DeJoy’s direction.
Ahead of the 2020 election, DeJoy implemented mail delivery slowdowns, removed ballot drop boxes, and decommissioned sorting machines. It's impossible to see these actions as anything but politically motivated.
DeJoy used his position to curry favor with Donald Trump and his allies before the election. Now, he's apparently using this position to reap the financial benefits.
