    Trump-appointed postmaster general investigated over political fundraising.
    The Guardian (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 77% • 3 min read

    FBI agents recently interviewed present and former employees who worked for Postmaster General Louis DeJoy and his business, according to the Washington Post. Prosecutors also hit DeJoy with a subpoena for information. DeJoy has not been charged with any crime and maintained that his campaign fundraising complied with the law.
    ...
    The Post reported in September 2020 that staffers at DeJoy’s former business, New Breed Logistics, claimed that he or his aides pressured them to patronize fundraising events or contribute to GOP candidates. These employees alleged that they were reimbursed through bonuses.
    ...
    This sort of repayment could violate federal or state campaign contribution laws that bar “straw-donor” set-ups, which enable deep-pocketed donors to bypass contribution limits. DeJoy is a “prominent GOP fundraiser, who personally gave more than $1.1m to the joint fundraising vehicle of President Donald Trump’s re-election campaign and the Republican party,” the newspaper noted.

Context: President Biden ends the "Remain in Mexico" immigration policy.

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS

No - Remaining in Mexico has its problems, but is it worse than the facilities we have that currently house such immigrants? I think not. It also acts as a proper deterrent for people trying to illegally immigrate on the naive hope that they will stay in the USA and to instead use proper channels.


Yes - Not only is sending people back into danger and violence a humanitarian issue, but it's a bad idea from a more practical sta...



No - If you want to come to America do it legally. ...
