John Dennis "Denny" Hastert (/ˈhæstərt/; born January 2, 1942) is a former American politician who served as the 51st Speaker of the United States House of Representatives from 1999 to 2007. He represented Illinois's 14th congressional district for twenty years, 1987 to 2007.[1]
On May 28, 2015, Hastert was indicted by federal prosecutors. The legal charges against him were that he did not follow a law that says banks should report cash transactions over $10,000, and that he made false statements to the FBI about his withdrawals, in a hush money scheme designed to cover up serial child molestation[2] that Hastert had committed when he was a high school wrestling coach.[3] He was found guilty on April 27, 2016 and was sentenced to two years in prison.
