Hastert's Rep Responds To ABC Story

Ron Bonjean, Speaker Hastert's comm. dir., issued this statement:

"The ABC News report is absolutely untrue. As confirmed by the Justice Department, 'Speaker Hastert is not under investigation by the Justice Department.' We are demanding a full retraction of the ABC News story. The Speaker's earlier statement issued today accurately reflects the facts regarding this matter."
