Judge Kenneth Conboy has disqualified Carey from a rerun of the disputed 1996 election that re-elected Carey over challenger Jimmy Hoffa, Jr., finding that Carey was involved in a plan to funnel union money into the coffers of his own campaign...

...nuts a year. The Teamsters demanded the jobs back, and the company refused, a standoff that persists today. But in 1995 the strike was seen by presidential aides as a chance, the memo said, to "rekindle" the Teamster bosses' affection for Clinton. Identifying the strike as one of Carey's "biggest problems," the memo urged Ickes to "assist in any way possible...
