WASHINGTON (CN) — A watchdog group is urging the Federal Election Commission to investigate claims that embattled U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy reimbursed former employees for GOP campaign donations.
Alleging a straw-donor scheme in which DeJoy reimbursed employees of his former companies for contributing to Republican political campaigns, the Campaign Legal Center names both the postmaster general and his former company, XPO Logistics, as defendants to the complaint.
“We need an FEC that will act,” a spokesperson for the center tweeted Friday, announcing the suit it filed with the commission the previous evening.
The watchdog says XPO Logistics employees donated to GOP political campaigns, and that DeJoy reimbursed them using his own funds or corporate funds as recently as 2018.
