Richard Hopkins, the Erie postal worker who accused his supervisors of tampering with ballots in a sworn affidavit—then recanted, then recanted his recantation—admitted to Postal Service investigators that the right-wing disinformation group Project Veritas wrote the sworn affidavit he signed, which was then provided to the Trump campaign.
Project Veritas posted two-plus hours of recorded audio of the interview between Hopkins and two investigators from the USPS inspector general’s office to YouTube on Wednesday, after previously posting deceptively edited clips portraying the investigators as intimidating Hopkins. Another portion of the interview was not recorded, according to the Washington Post, which first reported the news.
