Apparently he sexually abused a man when he was a teacher and coach and that was the reason for the hush-money.
It doesn't bother me, but there nowhere in this article that says he is Republican.
Ex-House Speaker Dennis Hastert Will Plead Guilty in Hush-Money Case - NBC News
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert plans to plead guilty in his hush-money case to resolve charges he lied to the FBI about bank withdrawals — money allegedly used as payoffs to keep sexual misconduct accusations under wraps.
The politician, who was not in the Chicago federal courtroom where the agreement was announced Thursday, will appear on Oct. 28 to enter a plea, assuming the deal does not fall through, his attorney said.
It's unclear whether the deal calls for Hastert, 73, to serve prison time. It will, however, let him avoid an embarrassing public trial with new details of his alleged misdeeds as a high-school wrestling coach in the 1960s and '70s.
