FIRST ON FOX:<\/strong> Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., is expanding his investigation<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

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<\/a> & Marsal.<\/p>\n

“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<\/a>? I expect full compliance with my oversight requests immediately.”<\/p>\n

Hawley said Congress must review USPS’ relationship with Alvarez & Marsal<\/a>, a restructuring firm Steiner disclosed earlier this year had been hired to help the postal service plan for its financial future.<\/p>\n

The senator questioned why USPS is paying outside consultants while projecting another multibillion-dollar loss and continuing to award executive bonuses.<\/p>\n

“It is surprising to me that as you complain about this monetary crisis, you and other USPS executives continue to rake in annual bonus packages and have found plenty of cash to hire these outside consultants like A&M \u2014 all while service declines and far too many Americans are not receiving their mail,” Hawley wrote.<\/p>\n

Hawley is requesting records detailing who hired Alvarez & Marsal, how much the firm has been paid and whether it was asked to recommend closing rural post offices, limiting rural delivery or reviewing executive compensation. He also inquired about whether USPS plans to release the firm’s recommendations to Congress or the public.<\/p>\n

The expanded investigation comes weeks after Fox News Digital first reported Hawley launched an oversight probe into USPS over dumped mail in St. Louis, demanding records on delayed deliveries, possible criminal misconduct and executive bonuses.<\/p>\n

That inquiry followed a contentious Senate hearing<\/a> in June, where Hawley pressed Steiner over thousands of pieces of dumped mail discovered in St. Louis.<\/p>\n

Hawley later criticized the postmaster general for saying he was unaware of the incident and publicly called for his resignation if he refused to return his performance bonus.<\/p>\n

In his latest letter, Hawley said USPS has yet to comply with his original document requests.<\/p>\n

Hawley noted USPS has lost an estimated $25 billion over the past three fiscal years and is projecting at least an $8.1 billion loss in fiscal year 2026 despite reforms Congress approved in 2022 to improve the agency’s finances.<\/p>\n

“If the Postal Service plans to address its losses through hiring A&M, then Congress must be apprised of the nature of the engagement and A&M’s recommendations to ensure that USPS service standards \u2014 such as universal service and rural delivery \u2014 do not continue to decline in any agency restructuring plan,” Hawley wrote.<\/p>\n

The senator requested USPS respond to his expanded oversight questions by July 24.<\/p>\n

USPS did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.<\/p>\n
