FIRST ON FOX:<\/strong> Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is opening a congressional investigation into the U.S. Postal Service<\/a> (USPS), demanding internal records on dumped mail, potential criminal wrongdoing and millions in executive bonuses as his standoff with Postmaster General David Steiner intensifies.<\/p>\n

In a scathing letter Tuesday on behalf of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee<\/a> on Crime and Counterterrorism, Hawley said the probe comes after Steiner failed to answer questions at a recent committee hearing about thousands of pieces of dumped mail discovered in St. Louis in April.<\/p>\n

Following the hearing, Steiner sent a letter to Hawley deflecting responsibility for the dumped mail to an active Office of Inspector General (OIG) investigation, while lecturing the senator on his lack of Southern “decorum.”<\/p>\n

Hawley, who took to X on June 24 to demand Steiner resign if he doesn’t return his bonus money, noted that it was “unbelievable” that Steiner was unaware of the highly publicized mail dumping incident.<\/p>\n

In his letter Tuesday, Hawley requested all internal USPS communications regarding the St. Louis mail dumping and requested the exact date Steiner was first informed.<\/p>\n

The senator also asked if any postal employees have been referred to the Department of Justice<\/a> (DOJ) for criminal prosecution under federal statutes regarding the theft, delay or destruction of mail, and clarification on whether postal workers have been falsifying scanning data to artificially inflate delivery metrics.<\/p>\n

Taking aim at the millions in “non-salary compensation” paid to USPS executives over the last decade, Hawley is seeking a complete, itemized statement of all compensation paid to Steiner since his appointment, along with “scorecards” used to justify the bonuses.<\/p>\n

“You seem to operate under the misapprehension that you are entitled to some kind of special deference,” Hawley wrote. “In fact, it\u2019s the people of Missouri<\/a> that are entitled to something: you doing your job.”<\/p>\n

According to the letter, an audit of the St. Louis distribution center revealed the “worst case of failed on-time delivery” the inspector general had seen in field operations reviews, while a Kansas City<\/a> audit found 100,000 delayed pieces of mail over just three days.<\/p>\n

The USPS did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
