A Democratic lawmaker and vocal critic of President Donald Trump on Friday suggested officials should create a presidential crimes commission after "we escape this Trump hell" to investigate his actions in office.
In a tweet, Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., pointed to Trump's threat to reject any funding to the U.S. Postal Service due to the Democrats push for mail-in voting.
"I don't say this lightly: when we escape this Trump hell, America needs a Presidential Crimes Commission," Swalwell said. "It should be made up of independent prosecutors who look at those who enabled a corrupt president. Example 1: Sabotaging the mail to win an election. #SaveThePostOffice."
The Postal Service announced citizens in 46 states are at risk of not having their vote-by-mail ballot arrive in time to be counted in the November election as the agency faces delayed delivery, policy changes, and a funding emergency during the coronavirus pandemic.
Despite concern on some voters' part of the risk of voting in person during the pandemic, Trump has cast doubt on the security of vote-by-mail, and alleged it will lead to election fraud.
Swalwell has been a vocal critic of Trump and was a key player during the House's impeachment inquiry into the president, The Hill noted.
