Hoffa v. United States 385 U.S. 293 (1966)
HOFFA v. UNITED STATES 385 U.S. 293 (1966)
Information received from a secret government informer and used to obtain a conviction of James Hoffa, the Teamsters' union leader, did not constitute an illegal search, because the informer was an invited guest; did not violate the right against self-incrimination, because compulsion was absent; and did not abridge the right to counsel, because the information did not breach the confidential relationship between petitioner and counsel. Hoffa's conviction for jury bribery was sustained.
