No reporter has been able to make contact with former GOP House Speaker Dennis Hastert since revelations came out this week that he has been paying money to a former male student to cover up sexual misconduct. There are now news reports that Hastert may be in Wisconsin.
A former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives may be hiding out in Wisconsin.
Dennis Hastert owns property in Crawford county, in the village of Eastman. Eastman is about 15 minutes northeast of Prairie du Chien.
Hastert has not been seen or heard from since he was indicted – accused of lying to the FBI, paying out millions in hush money to conceal sexual misconduct allegations.
A neighbor confirmed Hastert does spend time at the Wisconsin address.
“I thought he was a really nice guy. He’s been really nice to me,” said neighbor Sherwood Matti. “I was really surprised that they said he had a bad background because he sure didn’t look that way to me.”
Hastert has not returned phone calls or answered the door at his Chicago home – leading to speculation that he may have gone to his residence in Crawford county
