(Chicago, IL) — A judge is postponing sentencing for Dennis Hastert. A lawyer for the former House speaker told the Chicago federal court judge yesterday that Hastert is recovering from several health issues including a stroke. The 74-year-old pleaded guilty last fall to a felony charge related to accusations that he paid hush-money to cover up misconduct. His February 29th sentencing has been bumped back to April 8th.
