A day after J. Dennis Hastert was indicted on charges of "structuring" and lying to federal agents, an odd video clip has emerged showing the former House Speaker taking questions on C-SPAN.

Hastert paid to ‘conceal his prior misconduct’
J. Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican speaker in U.S. House history, was being blackmailed, and he paid millions to keep his secret. That's what federal indictment says, anyway.

This is what's known: There is a person -- "Individual A" -- in the indictment (no one knows if that person is a male or a female). Hastert was paying Individual A $3.5 million to cover up "past misconduct." Published May 29, 2015
