Kleindienst probe shadows Teamsters deal in Watergate era
Senate investigators reveal a secret report alleging Earl J. Kleindienst accepted a 125000 fee from Beverly Hills businessman Joseph Hauser for influencing Teamsters official Frank Fitzsimmons. The payment aimed to secure a lucrative 23 million dollar annual insurance contract for the Teamsters pension fund. Investigators tie the fee to Hauser’s access and Kleindienst’s influence, suggesting violations of Arizona insurance laws. The case links to Hauser’s operation, which diverted over 1 million in premiums and collapsed, costing about 7 million to the fund. A three year controversy Kleindienst calls a tragedy, while Law and order rhetoric echoes Nixon era legacy.
