A spokesperson for Postmaster General Louis DeJoy confirmed Thursday that the Justice Department is investigating the mail chief over reports that he improperly reimbursed employees at his former company for their personal political donations to Republican causes and candidates.
"Mr. DeJoy has learned that the ทดลองเล่นสล็อตโรม่าฟรีไม่ต้องสมัครDepartment of Justice is investigating campaign contributions made by employees who worked for him when he was in the private sector," Mark Corallo, a spokesperson for DeJoy, said in a statement to ABC News. "He has always been scrupulous in his adherence to the campaign contribution laws and has never knowingly violated them."
The Washington Post, which first reported the story, said FBI agents have interviewed current and former employees at New Breed Logistics, a North Carolina-based firm that DeJoy led before being tapped to lead the Postal Service in June of 2020 by then-President Donald. Trump.
The U.S. Postal Service and Justice Department declined to comment.
DeJoy is no longer affiliated with New Breed Logistics or XPO, the company that bought New Breed in 2014.

The ongoing probe of DeJoy, who was once a Republican megadonor, was triggered by news reports late last year that described how DeJoy allegedly pressured former employees to donate to Republican campaigns and would then reimburse them through bonus payments. The Post cited former employees in their reporting.
