[Jimmy Hoffa](/people/jimmy-hoffa/) was a prominent American labor union leader. A lot in Beverly Hills sold by [Clint Murchison, Sr.](/people/clint-murchison-sr/) to [Richard Nixon](/people/richard-nixon/) was financed through a Hoffa loan. [Meyer Lansky](/people/meyer-lansky/)'s Fremont Hotel in Las Vegas was also financed through a Hoffa loan.[^1]

[Clint W. Murchison, Jr.](/people/clint-w-murchison-jr/) attempted to persuade the Senate Rules Committee in 1964 that his real estate dealings with Hoffa in Florida were "hardly relevant" to the [Bobby Baker](/people/bobby-baker/) investigation.[^1]
