President Trump is preparing one of the biggest changes in the US Postal Service's 250-year history, insiders say. Sources tell the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal that Trump plans to issue an executive order to fire the service's governing board and place it under the direct control of the Commerce Department.

President Donald Trump could be working on an overhaul for the U.S. Postal Service, though the White House is pushing back on the growing expectations on that front.

The president is expected to sign an executive order that would fire the governing board of the U.S. Postal Service and leave the agency to the Commerce Department and secretary Howard Lutnick, per reports.
