Hawley Expands USPS Probe Over Alvarez & Marsal as Agency Projects $8.1 Billion 2026 Loss

Summary
July 24 is the deadline Sen. Josh Hawley set for USPS to turn over records on consultant Alvarez & Marsal after he said the agency ignored his June 30 oversight request.
Hawley wants documents showing who hired the firm, how much it has been paid and whether it was asked to weigh rural post-office closures, delivery limits or executive compensation.
The expanded probe ties consultant spending to USPS's finances: Hawley said the agency lost about $25 billion over the past three fiscal years and still projects an $8.1 billion loss in fiscal 2026.
That inquiry builds on Hawley's earlier investigation into dumped mail in St. Louis, delayed deliveries and executive bonuses, which escalated after a contentious June Senate hearing with Postmaster General David Steiner.
