Postal service IG reviewing Postmaster General’s policy changes and potential ethics conflicts

The Postal Service Inspector General is reviewing Postmaster General Louis DeJoy’s controversial policy changes and his compliance with federal ethics rules. DeJoy made some disruptive changes like eliminating overtime and slowing some mail delivery. Democrats are accusing DeJoy of trying to disrupt mail-in-voting in the November election, which he has denied. President Trump has also said he’s holding up funding for the USPS because he doesn’t want to see it used for mail-in-voting. Jena Griswold is the Secretary State of Colorado and is in charge of overseeing the state’s elections. She joins AC360 to react to the Postal Service IG review and says Trump is “trying to undermine the safest way to vote during a pandemic and enforce Americans to choose between risking their lives and casting a ballot.” Plus, President Trump was asked if he had an issue with a strong woman of color being in the presidential race. His answer: “No. None whatsoever, as you now.” Despite his answer, the President has given the opposite impression when he’s interacted with strong women of color. Democratic Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms of Atlanta is a Biden supporter and she tells Anderson Cooper this President is a “disgrace to our country and it’s only getting worse.” Airdate: August 14, 2020 Guests: Jena Griswold Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.

Plus, those concerned about the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza for Palestinians and the health and safety of hostages being held by Hamas and others are hoping attention will return to negotiations for a deal on a ceasefire and hostage return.
