In announcing the probe, committee chairwoman Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D., N.Y.) called for the Postal Service’s board of governors to immediately suspend Mr. DeJoy over the allegations. She also alleged Mr. DeJoy may have lied under oath during recent congressional hearings in responding to questions about reimbursements. Mr. Hagler didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on Tuesday about the House Oversight Committee’s investigation. Mr. DeJoy, a Trump donor and GOP fundraiser, was named to lead the U.S. Postal Service this spring by the Postal Service Board of Governors, whose members were appointed by the president.
