Admits to blocking USPS funding to stop universal mail-in voting

In an interview on Fox Business, Trump openly admitted he was blocking funding for the U.S. Postal Service to prevent universal mail-in voting in the 2020 election. "They need that money in order to make the Post Office work so it can take all of these millions and millions of ballots," Trump said. "But if they don't get those two items, that means you can't have universal mail-in voting." The admission confirmed fears that his administration was sabotaging the postal system to suppress votes during the pandemic.
