Postmaster General Louis DeJoy is testifying before the House Oversight and Reform Committee on Monday, amid rising concerns about delays in mail delivery ahead of the November election. Democrats are expecting to grill DeJoy for overseeing a series of recent operational changes, such as eliminating most overtime and ending extra package deliveries.
Robert Duncan, the president of the USPS Board of Governors, will also testify at the hearing.
The hearing comes after the House passed a bill on Saturday that would provide an additional $25 billion to the U.S. Postal Service, reverse the recent changes and prevent the agency from implementing any new changes until January 2021. Democrats say they are concerned that President Trump is deliberately trying to curtail mail delivery to making casting absentee ballots more difficult.
House Democrats are expected to press DeJoy on his oversight of these changes, and how this may affect the influx of mail-in ballots in the coming election due to the coronavirus pandemic. DeJoy insisted in a hearing before the Senate Homeland Security Committee on Friday that his "number one priority" is to ensure election mail is received on time.

Aug. 24 (UPI) -- After a grilling from the Senate on Friday, U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy returns to Capitol Hill Monday to face questions in the House about mailing ballots before the presidential election in November.
DeJoy will appear before the House oversight committee for a hearing that begins at 10 a.m. EDT.
House lawmakers want to hear about changes to the U.S. Postal Service ordered by DeJoy, once a major donor to President Donald Trump, since he assumed his post in June. Some have questioned whether the changes, which DeJoy said have been delayed until after the election, were designed to give Trump a political advantage by suppressing ballots by mail.
The Nov. 3 election is expected to see a record number of mail-in ballots due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
