'Judge' in Hastert hush money case donated to ex-speaker's campaign | 02 June 2015 | Former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert is set to make his first court appearance in his hush-money case on Thursday, when he is expected to enter a plea before a federal 'judge' who previously donated $1,500 to the then-Illinois congressman's re-election campaign. The arraignment for Hastert, a Republican (GOPredator) who was once second in line to the U.S. presidency, comes a week after a grand jury indictment alleged he agreed to pay $3.5 million to ensure someone from the Illinois town where he taught and coached stayed quiet about “prior misconduct” by Hastert. The office of U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Durkin confirmed the arraignment date, then told The Associated Press later Monday that Durkin could not comment on any aspect of the case, including whether he might recuse himself.
