Latest on Hastert: Indictment says he agreed to pay $3.5M


A federal indictment against former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert says he agreed to pay $3.5 million to hide 'prior misconduct' against an unidentified person.

The indictment says Hastert agreed to pay the money to the unidentified person. The indictment does not describe the misconduct Hastert was trying to conceal.

The details were included in an indictment in which the 73-year-old Illinois Republican is charged with withdrawing $952,000 in cash in small amounts to evade the requirement that banks report cash transactions over $10,000. He's also charged with lying to the FBI.
