The former speaker of the house Dennis Hastert has been indicted by a federal grand jury for violating banking laws and lying to the fbi. The indictment says hastert paid hush money to keep an unnamed person quiet about, quote, prior misconduct. Hastert served as speaker for eight years from 1999 to 2007 and he was the longest serving Republican House speaker. Susan mcginnis is in washington. Susan, good morning. Annemarie, good morning. This is coming as a shock to many here on capitol hill. According to the indictment hastert who is now 73 withdrew 2 million in very small increments to stay under the Bank Regulators and lied to investigators to keep one person quiet. A car sped past reporters last night outside Dennis Hasterts home. The former House Speaker still has not commented on allegations he agreed to pay millions of dollars to silence a longtime acquaintance and that he lied to the fbi. According to a federal indictment hastert agreed to pay 3. 5 million in order to compensate for and conceal his prior misconduct against individual a. It sounds like it would be the equivalent of hush money. He was paying money in exchange for this person not coming forward. The indictment does not describe the misconduct and doesnt name the person hastert gave the money to. The court paper says the person is from yorkville, illinois, the same town where hastert was a High School Teacher and wrestling coach from 1965 to 1981. According to the indictment from 2001 to 2012, hastert made 15 withdrawals of 50,000 cash from his local bank in illinois and then started withdrawing money in smaller increments. By the end of last year hastert had allegedly withdrawn more than 1. 7 million. Prosecutors allege he lied to the fbi when questioned about withdrawals. The 73yearold told investigators he didnt trust the banking system. And there is no word yet on any possible charges against that person allegedly on the receiving end of hasterts payments.
