An “outrageous claim” leads to an investigation.
When Cooper asked the postmaster general if all of his campaign contributions were legal, DeJoy responded, “I’m fully aware of legal campaign contributions, and I resent the assertion, sir. What are you accusing me of?”
Jeremy Stahl: How did you know to ask DeJoy about the straw donors? It obviously put him on his back heel.Number one, I’m a nerd and I usually do my homework. Number two, I got a tip from a friend in North Carolina. I went to college there and I have a lot of friends in North Carolina. Number three, my senior paper at Harvard Law School was on exactly this topic, so I know a lot about it.
On the last question, I won’t know whether he lied or not until there’s a judicial proceeding. On the specific question, he was appointed by Trump, his contributions go way back, and the federal statute of limitations is, I think, five years. So, contributions before that in previous campaigns would not be covered by federal law, but would probably be covered by state law.
He came off blustery and defensive when I asked him the campaign finance question, because in my opinion—it’s only my opinion—he probably knew he was guilty. Because if the statement in the Washington Post is correct from his HR manager of all those years, he not only reimbursed his employees, he paid their taxes. That’s like tying a bow on top of the crime.
