Since this guy is a Republican you can guarantee that this will be all over the headlines.
Watch below:
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert allegedly engaged in sexual misconduct during his time as a high school wrestling coach and history teacher, ABC News has learned from sources with knowledge of the case.
Associates and former colleagues of Hastert expressed surprise and dismay today over allegations that he disbursed $1.7 million in hush money payments to conceal alleged misconduct from a period before he entered politics.
The school district that employed Hastert from 1965 to 1981 as a high school history teacher and wrestling coach noted it “was first made aware of any concerns regarding Mr. Hastert when the federal indictment was released” Thursday.
The indictment revealed that Hastert’s time at Yorkville, in Illinois, is “material” to the allegations against him and the U.S. Attorney’s investigation. The indictment itself does not mention what the alleged misconduct is.
A statement released by Yorkville Community Unit School District #115 added it “has no knowledge of Mr. Hastert’s alleged misconduct, nor has any individual contacted the District to report any such misconduct. If requested to do so, the District plans to cooperate fully with the U.S. Attorney’s investigation into this matter.”
