Top Republican Fundraiser & Trump Ally Named Postmaster General
---------------------------------------------------------------

A top Republican fundraiser and longtime ally of President Trump has
been tapped to head the U.S. Postal Service. Louis De Joy will serve as
postmaster general at a time when the nation's mail service is facing
steep losses in revenue. The Post Office, which has come under attack by
President Trump, recently warned it may not survive through summer
without major federal assistance.
