USPS Investigated for Possible Unlawful Activity

Two Republicans on the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform sent a letter to the U.S. Postmaster General demanding she turn over details about the agency's competitive products operations. In a letter dated May 13, 2015, Republican representatives Jason Chaffetz and Mark Meadows demanded Postmaster General Brennan provide the committee with a laundry list of detailed data, including information about Sunday package deliveries, which is being fueled through a partnership with Amazon.com. The U.S. Postal Service is increasingly competing against private industry as the package side of its business grows and mail business shrinks.
