I do not understand.

(R) Dennis Hastert (Former Speaker of the United States House of Representatives & Illinois Congressman)
One of the highest-ranking U.S. politicians to go to prison — Hastert molested at least four boys as young as 14 years of age when he coached wrestling at an Illinois High School. Sentenced to 15 months in prison, two years’ supervised release, and a $250,000 fine. A civil case is due back in court for a status hearing on Jan. 8, 2021 at the courthouse to further address the jury trial, should it still occur amid the pandemic.
