(CHICAGO) Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s sentencing has been delayed again.
The judge overseeing Hastert’s hush-money case has granted prosecutors’ request to delay the sentencing until April 27.
Haster pleaded guilty in October to violating banking laws. Federal prosecutors say he withdrew over $3 million from 2010 to 2014 and later lied to the FBI. They say Hastert was paying someone to keep quiet about allegations of prior misconduct.
At a hearing in January the judge agreed to push sentencing back from Feb. 29 to April 8 after Hastert’s attorneys told the court that the 74-year-old was suffering with health problems.
