USPS Inspector General ‘looking into’ Project Veritas video on Michigan late ballots

The Post Office is looking into a video from Project Veritas alleging a United States Postal Service whistleblower in Michigan was directed to manipulate the dates of late ballots by a superior.
The Washington Examiner confirmed the USPS’s Office of Inspector General is investigating the video. “We have learned of this matter and are looking into it,” USPS’s Office of the Inspector General’s spokesperson Agapi Doulaveris told the Washington Examiner. “No additional information available at this time.”
USPS spokeswoman Martha Johnson also told the Washington Examiner the Postal Service was aware of the video and was “referred to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.”
The video released by Project Veritas claims to show a USPS whistle-blower from the Traverse City Post Office in Michigan, specifically from Barlow Branch. The individual said he was instructed by a direct supervisor Jonathan Clarke to separate late ballots found in mail-boxes and “hand stamp them with the previous day’s date.” He added there was a “hamper where letter carriers were supposed to leave their ballots” and put into “express bags to go to the distribution center.” Project Veritas said they reached out to Clarke about the matter, but he declined to comment.
Project Veritas has a mixed record on its sting operations over the years, including allegations of misleading editing. In 2017, the group was caught trying to expose left-wing bias in the Washington Post by having a woman falsely pose as a victim of then-Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore. The group has had success, including releasing a video showing ABC News anchor Amy Robach complaining off-record about her network prohibiting her from interviewing a victim of Jeffrey Epstein.
Robach said the video “caught” her in “a private moment of frustration” but denied that the network stopped her from reporting on Epstein.
