Associated Press
SYRACUSE, N.Y. — A federal judge sentenced a trucking executive to six months in prison for falsely telling the FBI that Labor Secretary Raymond J. Donovan laundered Teamsters Union contributions to President Reagan’s 1980 campaign.
Michael E. Klepfer, 45, pleaded guilty in a plea bargain Nov. 16 to one count of making a false statement. Allegations by Klepfer and nearly 40 other persons led to a six-month investigation of Donovan, who was cleared by a special prosecutor in June, 1982.
