President Trump has long complained about voting by mail, which he has said could lead to “the greatest disaster in election history.” At the same time, Democrats on Capitol Hill have concocted a theory by which they accuse the president of crippling the Postal Service in order to slow the delivery of ballots and thus to steal the election.

In an Oval Office interview Wednesday, Trump clarified his views on the Postal Service and its role in the election. And he said flatly that the post office is not the problem.
