Louis DeJoy was a wealthy transportation executive and Republican megadonor with a limited national profile just months ago. He’s now in the middle of a roiling political fight between Democrats and President Donald Trump over voting and the integrity of the November election.

DeJoy, the postmaster general, is set to be questioned over two days on Capitol Hill. On Friday, he is to go before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and on Monday he is to face the House Committee on Oversight and Reform.
