Judge Sees Ouster Case Delayed by Hoffa Moves
The unelected ouster proceeding against Hoffa is a civil action with no criminal charges. When court met, Hoffa filed about six motions to block or delay the case. Hoffa told reporters he would not comment on Letts stepping aside as trial judge. A Teamsters official said Letts’s disqualification removes little, as he retains supervision over the union monitorship. Hoffa alleges bias, claiming Letts told Time’s Hugh Sidey he planned to remove Hoffa and objected to William Bufalino’s role in the monitors. Letts replied that Sidey’s note denying the charges was read by his clerk.
