Clay County man among few who crime boss 'Whitey' Bulger trusted
CLAY COUNTY, Fla. - One of America's most notorious crime bosses has a very strong link to Clay County. In the years after Hopkins' release, Bulger, still a young criminal at the time, was transferred to Alcatraz. Bulger was transferred from Florida to a federal prison in West Virginia, where he was killed shortly after arriving. When asked why he thinks Bulger was transferred, Hopkins said, "Because they hated him ... the prison officials, the federal prosecutors, the Department of Justice." In letters to her, Bulger wrote about liking President Donald Trump and not caring much for now-former Special Counsel Robert Mueller III.
