House Democrats said Monday that Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has agreed to their demand that he testify next week about controversial changes he’s making to the United States Postal Service amid a political firestorm over mail-in voting and claims President Donald Trump was trying to “sabotage” the November election.

House Oversight and Reform Chairman Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y., said in a statement Monday she was “pleased” that DeJoy has agreed to testify about “the sweeping operational and organizational changes he has been making to the Postal Service.”

“I also look forward to receiving his production of documents and other information by this Friday in response to the detailed request I made last week with Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, Chairperson Lofgren, and Senate Ranking Members Peters and Klobuchar,” the statement continued. “The American people want their mail, medicines, and mail-in ballots delivered in a timely way, and they certainly do not want drastic changes and delays in the midst of a global pandemic just months before the election.”
