FBI Ordered To Look For Jimmy Hoffa-Related Documents: Report

DETROIT — The Trump Administration ordered FBI employees to look through their records for any information related to the disappearance Jimmy Hoffa, two law enforcement sources told CNN.

The directive is the latest in a series of requests from the administration to look into unsolved mysteries, including the disappearance of Amelia Earhart and conspiracy theories relating to the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

It also comes nearly a month into the federal government shutdown and as officials work to redact files associated with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Hoffa disappeared in July 1975 after leaving the Machus Red Fox in Bloomfield Township. Investigators believe Hoffa, who had a history of associating with organized crime, met reputed Detroit mob enforcer Anthony "Tony Jack" Giacalone and alleged New Jersey mob figure Anthony "Tony Pro" Provenzano.

In the late 1960s, Hoffa was convicted of fraud, conspiracy and jury tampering. He was sent to federal prison in 1967. President Richard Nixon commuted Hoffa's 13-year sentence in 1971. He served as the Teamsters general president from 1957 to 1971.

Investigators have long believed Hoffa was murdered, but no one has ever been directly charged in his disappearance or death.

Tips over the years have led investigators to a horse farm in Milford Township, an Oakland Township field, the Pulaski Skyway in New Jersey, and many others, but to no avail. However, investigators said earlier this year they remain "steadfast in its commitment to pursuing all credible leads" and "is seeking information to assist in moving this case forward."
