mr. hastert.have people argued that the fact this judge made donations to hastert's campaign and then worked at one point with dennis hastert's son, that he should be removed from this case? >> well nobody has legally argued that. today was the first opportunity for that to happen, but the judge himself was first person to bring it up. judge durkin made two donations while he was if private practice before he became a judge to mr. hastert's campaign. the donations totaled i believe about $1,500. he's also worked for the same law firm where mr. hastert's son is now a parter in. additionally, judge durkin's brother jim durkin is the current republican leader of the illinois house of representatives. the judge brought all of this to everybody's attention in court today, not that any of it needed to be. i don't think he said anything that hasn't been previously reported since the case was assigned to him. but he's giving each side an opportunity to basically say whether or not they think the case shou

mr. hastert's payment of this money was illegal and he's not charged with whatever happened 30 years ago. that is not anything the federal government could bring a charge on. the other thing is the federal government says they're not chargeing individual a. with extortion for two reasons. one is you have to have a victim and mr. hastert has never claimed that he was extorted and secondly, the federal officials i've talked to say that they're satisfied that this was in essence, a sort of cooperative agreement. that there was an element of agreement, not just a flat out shake down. >> of course more on that story as it progresses this week. a hall-of-famer hung up his spikes this weekend. bob schieffer retired. the legendary newscaster signed off yesterday from face the nation after 24 years at the helm of the show. >> i thought back to when i was in the ninth grade and saw my by line in the school newspaper and decided right then i wanted to be a reporter. i got a chance to do that. when i was a young reporter i wanted to work for cbs because walter cronkite was my hero and then i wanted t

mr. hastert never claimed he was extorted. secondly the several officials said they are satisfied this was a cooperative agreement they had that. there was an element of agreement not just flat out shakedown. >> so why is this illegal? >> it is his own money but because of this technical violation of the credit reporting rules, and secondly the lie to the fbi. remember, he is not charged with what he did 30 years ago to this victim. he's charged with something he did more recently. >> when will we see him in court? >> we don't know for sure. normally, you would have to be brought before a federal magistrate and have the right within 48 hours. obviously, there is a lot of agreement between his lawyers and prosecutor. >> thanks very much. >>> want to turn to tom davis, former congressman from virginia. in some ways you were a key lieutenant back in the hastert ten yufrmt i have to get your initial reaction. was there a whiff of this? dennis hastert became speaker of the house because of scandal that impacted gingrich bob livings

mr. hastert's prior misconduct towards that individual.ndictment, but according to law enforcement sources, that prior misconduct stems from did he know denny hastert's time as a high school teacher and a coach in yorkville, illinois, before he ever went to congress. since the indictment was unsealed, federal officials have told nbc news that the alleged misconduct was sexual in nature and that it involved a student at the high school where denny hastert taught and coached. again, these are all just allegations at this point. but if the indictment is true about the payments, if the underlying misconduct, specifically sexual misconduct is true, it then raises hard to answer questions about not just denny hastert and his behavior, and that will be litigated soon fluff, but also about everybody around him, right?e was at in american politics, how did nobody know, considering that he became speaker of the house at a time when sexual misconduct was essentially everywhere in politics. it was like a bad flu season. everybody seemed to be coming d

mr. hastert, did you have a sexual relationship with a student of yours? >> reporter: that question hung in the air without an answer as dennis hastert shambled past hundreds of reporters and fought his way into the federal courthouse today where more indignities awaited the man who was once second in line to the presidency. in court, he was asked to surrender his passport, to provide on request samples of his d.n.amir bagheri., and to promise he would not talk to any victims or witnesses who may be called in the case. it involved charges he illegally structured bank withdrawals to hide a deal he made starting in 2010 with someone known in the indictment as individual "amir bagheri." individual. he is asked about why he drew the money insisting he was keeping it for himself when the government said he was compensating individual amir bagheri to conceal prior misconduct. source say it was a sexual misconduct a male student and occurred during hastert's team as a teacher and wrestling coach from 1965 to 1981. >> former federal prosecutor patrick collins says

mr. hastert is due in federal court next week and the charges are bank fraud and lying to the fbi about alleged hush money that he paid to someone identified only as individual a. cnn is following all the developments in chicago. for starters, i think a lot of people might have considered this young man who is now dead, might have been individual a. but it turns out the sister says he's not individual a. >> well, that's right, ashleigh. we don't know yet who individual a is. cnn did learn last week that there was a second victim. this might be, in fact, that second victim. the sister of this victim is telling abc news that hastert abused her brother throughout his high school career, and his name, of course, is steve reinboldt. he was abused by hastert in the 1970s while hastert was a high school wrestling coach. reinboldt was that team's equipment manager. that's what his sister joe lean is saying. her brother first came out about the alleged abuse in 1979, when he revealed to her that he was gay. now, steve passed away in 1995 and hastert attended his funeral and that's where an angry jolene

mr. hastert's payment of this money was illegal. and he's not charged with this whatever happened 30 years ago. that is one, not anything the federal government could bring a charge on, and, two, well blond the statute of limitations in the state. the other thing is the federal government says they're not charging "individual a" which we believe to have been a former student with extortion for two reasons. one is you have to have a victim and mr. has territorytert has never claimed he was distorted, and they're satisfied that there was an element of agreement here not just flat out shakedown. >> gosh. everything you look at differently now. i saw a clip i think it was c-span where he took a call in from sort of a mocking town saying remember me and it was very awkward and i think they hung up the call. but. >> there are no words. this was a complete shock. we had looked to denyny who was going to clean up the mess after newt, bob livingston. he with wanted paxton to replace newt and everything blew up. and there was the coup. but de

mr. hastert will have the opportunity too make a plea. almost certainly he will plead not guilty.ead guilty but not in a case like this and not with a pit bull lawyer like tom green. >> his new lawyer tom green, a man of a loot of experience in white collar criminal allegations back in watergate, iran-contra iran-contra, whitewater. so the lawyer that the former speaker has retained is clearly experienced. he knows what he's doing. >> he's in a storied firm it brees barack obama as a young lawyer met michelle obama. it's an interesting choice. again, tom green has been around for a long time. he represented a senator back when i prosecuted anymore the 1990s. >> you were a federal prosecutor at the time. >> i was with the department of justice. he's tenacious. he's a fight-the-case lawyer and that's a surprising dmois a case like this which a lot of people expect a plea. because if you fight this case all this alleged dirty laundry about speaker hastert is going to come out. >> so the best for speaker hastert, presumably right now would be to cop a plea, is that what you're saying?

mr. hastert's actions with this money as noted by the fbi in this indictment but also how he was making hisey since leaving congress to be able to pay this kind of quote, unquote, hush money or alleged hush money. >> what he was doing is he cranked up his lobbying business. one side note of this is that this indictment shows how, when you have a will there's a way for people in his position to really make a lot of money fast and make so much money that i guess your family doesn't know it's missing. but we always knew that former high-profile lawmakers can make a lot of money, and certainly this episode shows that when he realized in 2010 -- that's when this person whose name we still don't know came to him that there is past misconduct and he agreed to pay 3.5 million -- that he cranked up his business and he was able to have that money to the point that $1.7 million had already been paid when the indictment came. >> are we going to learn more about these allegation details? some of his former students have come out and defended him while at least one other individual says her brother was a

mr. hastert of concealing bank withdrawals to avoid a federal reporting requirement. >> reporter: prosecutorshat money, $3.5 million, was used as hush money to quiet someone he allegedly sexually abused decades ago before his political career. the alleged victim has not been named, but investigators say he was a student when hastert was a teacher and wrestling coach at yorkville high, just outside of chicago. last week the sister of a former student said her brother was a victim but a growing number of former students have their doubts. >> i don't believe it. not at all. i never had any problems with him at all. >> reporter: hastert does not face any charges of sexual misconduct because the statute of limitations on that has long expired. each current charge though carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison. when these charges first came out, hastert did say he set aside large sums of money but only because he didn't trust keeping his money in the bank. today the judge released hastert on a $4500 bond. he also ordered the 73-year-old to surrender his passport and stay in the u.s. jess

mr. hastert's bank made to justice department and banking authorities regarding these large withdrawals.rawals of $50,000 or more. when the bank called him in to ask him about those withdrawals, he immediately stopped making such large withdrawals and began making withdrawals just under $10,000. so any time that happens, that is going to perk up the ears of law enforcement because that's what we call instruct touring, an attempt to evade the requirement so nobody knows what you're doing with the cash. at some point, somebody connected these two dots right, you had agtsz asking why is hastert doing this. and then you look a little bit deeper and find out, oh, my goodness, there are also allegations of old sexual abuse claims and maybe these two are connected and at some point someone made that connection. >> absolutely caleb, mason, thank you so much. appreciate it. up next "the cycle" turns to sports on a big weekend here in new york. i thought i'd have to give him away. i tried tylenol but it was 6 pills a day. with aleve it's just 2 pills, all day. now i'm back! aleve. all day strong.

mr. green works out of in washington. >> to the indictment i talked about in the individual "a" the big question is would we ever know who individual "a" is who presumably denny hastert has been paying this hush money? hastert is in court right now and after the arraignment, he will get the discovery and individual "a" will be revealed in the discovery, so do you think in some time days ever the public will know who that individual is? >> it depends on what the government leaks out or puts out taken depends on what the defense lawyer puts out. it's no secret that if you pay somebody $1.7 million or $700,000 to someone that you certainly know who you gave it to. i don't think it's a mystery to the defense as to who in fact that person is. the ohm person who doesn't know about it are you guys. the fact of the matter is all the discovery relative to the payment of the money, the writing of the checks who got the money, the police reports regarding that the fbi reports relative to that will be presented to the defense. it's not going to be any secret. >> okay. >> and it probably isn't any secret today, how many people have you given $1 million to? i bet you if you did, y
