Before he was the top U.S. Postal Service official, David Steiner criticized Donald Trump's leadership style after seeing him on "The Apprentice." Nearly two decades later, Steiner finds himself navigating Trump's influence on the Postal Service. When the Republican president signed an executive order restricting mail ballots, Steiner moved to implement it, but the move was halted after the Supreme Court's rejection.
