Public state: delivered As of 2026-09-30 · verified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): delivered. same_term A for effort

The verified commitment was Hawley saying his office was launching a congressional investigation into USPS service failures in Missouri, possible criminal activity, and executive bonuses. Verified passages show the same launch, a later formal expansion of the investigation, and a later statement that Hawley’s office continued to investigate USPS while awaiting requested documents. Because the promised action was to conduct an investigation, not to enact legislation or secure USPS compliance, these verified passages support delivery attributable to Hawley’s office in the same term.
