FIRST ON FOX: Sen.Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is expanding his investigation into the U.S.
Postal Service, accusing Postmaster General David Steiner of ignoring congressional oversight while demanding records on the agency's use of outside restructuring consultants as USPS projects billions more in financial losses.In a letter obtained by Fox News Digital, the Missouri Republican said his office has received no documents in response to a June 30 oversight request and informed Steiner that the investigation will now examine USPS' hiring of consulting firm Alvarez & Marsal."To date, my office has received no documents in compliance with my June 30 letter," Hawley wrote."Is it your intention simply to ignore statutory oversight? I expect full compliance with my oversight requests immediately."SENATOR JOSH HAWLEY DEMANDS ANSWERS FROM MLB ON 'PATTERN OF DISCRIMINATION' OVER WARNINGS TO GIANTS PLAYERSPostmaster General David Steiner testifies before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee during a June 24 hearing on reforming the U.S.
