Postal Service preps for fight with Trump amid takeover plot: report

Raw Story  

President Donald Trump plans to declare the dissolution of the board of the U.S. "Trump is expected to issue an executive order as soon as this week to fire the members of the Postal Service’s governing board and place the agency under the control of the Commerce Department and Secretary Howard Lutnick, according to six people familiar with the plans, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of reprisals," said the report. "The board is planning to fight Trump’s order, three of those people told The Washington Post." In response to the plans, the report continued, the USPS board held an emergency meeting, where they "retained outside counsel and gave instructions to sue the White House if the president were to remove members of the board or attempt to alter the agency’s independent status." "Trump’s order to place the Commerce Department in charge of the Postal Service would probably violate federal law, according to postal experts," noted the report.
