DeJoy donated nearly $700,000 to Trump's convention, new filings show

(CNN) - Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, who has faced intense scrutiny from Democrats over changes he has made to the US Postal Service, donated more than $685,000 to the host committee that worked to stage the Republican National Convention, new filings show.

DeJoy, a North Carolina businessman and Republican mega-donor, was the lead fundraiser for the convention before he was tapped to lead the USPS. DeJoy's relationship with President Donald Trump, along with the President's repeated false claims that mail-in voting is rife with fraud, has sparked allegations that the administration is using the nation's mail system to sway the election. DeJoy has denied the allegations.

The new filings Friday at the Federal Election Commission from the Charlotte Host Committee show four donations from DeJoy between late December 2018 and late March 2020, totaling $685,230.

DeJoy and the Trump campaign did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

And a means of enforcing it even when a rank, corrupt POTUS installs a rank, corrupt AG who refuses do anything when laws are broken by people around said POTUS.
