Hastert sentencing hearing postponed, so abuse victim may testify

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s sentencing hearing in a hush-money case has been postponed at the request of prosecutors who say yet another alleged sexual abuse victim of Hastert is considering testifying.

“He is deciding whether he would like to ask the court to appear as a witness at sentencing. He’s not a hundred percent certain he wants to do that but he has been moving in that direction…” Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Block said at a hearing Tuesday on the matter, according to a court transcript.
Illinois corruption is endless.
