Members of Congress requested the OIG examine, in part, DeJoy's compliance with ethics requirements.

Hunt,' has DeJoy met all ethics requirements regarding disclosure, divestment, and recusal from decisions in which he may have a conflict?" (Exhibit 1 ).II. SYNOPSISThe investigation revealed DeJoy met all applicable ethics requirements related to disclosure, recusal, and divestment upon entering the position of Postmaster General.
