The former top USPS official said the Trump administration has been "politicizing" the Postal Service.

Williams said he resigned "when it became clear to me that the administration was politicizing the Postal Service with the treasury secretary as the lead figure for the White House in that effort."
Williams: Trump "was determined that the Postal Service should inflict harm on Amazon delivery by sharply raising parcel shipping prices on everyone by 400% or more."
Mnuchin was also interested in labor agreements, postage pricing and volume discounts given to the likes of Amazon, UPS and FedEx.

"The Postal Service replied to early demands from the Secretary explaining that his demands were illegal, but the concerns were ignored."
