Williams, also a former postal IG, described as a longtime govt. watchdog who knew the org. better than anyone & who could help explain what was going on ... 2/

w the board & the administration at the time DeJoy, a major Trump donor, was appointed.

Stephen Crawford, a former USPS Board member under Obama, said at the time it happened, Williams’s departure was a bad development.

“When David Williams resigned, I knew we were in serious

trouble. Williams … knew postal service in and out,” he said.

Williams declined comment when contacted by NBC News.

The briefing was being organized Monday night in coordination with House Oversight Committee Chair Carolyn Maloney and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
