Rep. Eshoo Calls for California Attorney General to Open a Criminal Investigation of Postmaster General DeJoy

Palo Alto, CA – Today, Rep. Anna G. Eshoo (CA-18) sent a letter to California Attorney General Becerra, urging him to open a criminal investigation of Postmaster General DeJoy to determine whether California laws have been violated by taking recent actions to hamper the state’s vote by mail efforts.

“President Trump and his recently appointed Postmaster General, Louis DeJoy, are intentionally undermining the ability of the U.S. Postal Service to deliver mail-in ballots, threatening the integrity of the upcoming elections,” wrote Rep. Eshoo. “I believe there is sufficient evidence for your office to open a criminal investigation to determine if these actions violate California laws which protect the rights of our mutual constituents to vote, and I urge you to do so.”

Rep. Eshoo’s request follows a request from her colleague, Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (NJ-09), urging the New Jersey Attorney General to open a criminal investigation into potential violations of that state’s laws.
