CNN)President Joe Biden's trio of US Postal Service Board of Governors nominees said Thursday they have not made any commitments or been pressured about the potential firing of embattled Trump-era Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.
The scrutiny comes as scores of Democratic lawmakers have sent letters to DeJoy and President Joe Biden in recent weeks, raising concerns about the postmaster general's leadership and urging the President to take action amid complaints over delivery delays.
During Thursday's nomination hearing, Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman said he had previously asked all three of Biden's nominees -- Anton Hajjar, Amber McReynolds and Ron Stroman -- whether they had received any outside pressure about firing the current postmaster general.
