Hastert Testified to Ethics Committee

Larry Margasak for AP reports: House Speaker Dennis Hastert testified in private before ethics investigators Tuesday and then said they should work quickly to find out who knew about Rep. Mark Foley's come-ons to congressional pages and what was done about it. (…) The timeline that Hastert and his staff have given conflicts with the accounts of others. (…) A four-member subcommittee of the House ethics committee is keeping key witnesses behind closed doors for hours as it tries to unravel the conflicts in the handling of the Foley matter.
