Ex-House Speaker Hastert charged with evading currency rules and lying to FBI

The Chicago Tribune reports:

Former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert has been indicted on federal charges alleging he structured the withdrawal of $952,000 in cash in order to evade reporting requirements and lied to the FBI about his withdrawals.

Hastert, 73, of Plano, was charged with one count each of structuring currency transactions to evade Currency Transaction Reports and making a false statement to the FBI, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

He will be ordered to appear for arraignment at a later date in U.S. District Court in Chicago.

Couldn't happen to a nicer "establishment" figure.
