Mailman who Donald Trump called 'a patriot' for claiming he heard possible election fraud told Postal Inspectors 'I didn't hear the whole story - my mind probably added the rest'
The Pennsylvania mail carrier who lodged potential fraud allegations that exploded across the internet and earned a presidential retweet admitted during an interview with investigators said he 'didn't hear the whole story' and 'put two and two together' to make assumptions.
Mailman Richard Hopkins, the subject of a blaring Project Veritas report and GoFundMe campaign, is heard walking back an earlier affidavit piece by piece in a two-hour interview with Inspectors General from the U.S. Postal Service.
When pressed repeatedly to whittle back his story to what he specifically knew that he heard, Hopkins' tale collapsed.
