Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert, who served in Congress for nearly two decades, has died at 84. He was previously convicted of federal charges related to a decades-old sexual abuse case, marking a rare legal consequence for a high-profile political figure. The revelation of his criminal history followed years of public service, including his tenure as House Speaker during the Clinton administration. His death comes after a period of declining health following his imprisonment.
