The day Hastert announced his resignation:

Excerpt:

Can anyone guess what is missing from this article and all mainstream articles about Denny Hastert? Two words: Sibel Edmonds. From a 2005 Vanity Fair article (emph mine):

Edmonds has given confidential testimony inside a secure Sensitive Compartmented Information facility on several occasions: to congressional staffers, to investigators from the O.I.G., and to the staff from the 9/11 commission. Sources familiar with this testimony say that, in addition to her allegations about the Dickersons, she reported hearing Turkish wiretap targets boast that they had a covert relationship with a very senior politician indeed—Dennis Hastert, Republican congressman from Illinois and Speaker of the House since 1999. The targets reportedly discussed giving Hastert tens of thousands of dollars in surreptitious payments in exchange for political favors and information. “The Dickersons,” says one official familiar with the case, “are only the tip of the iceberg.”

Edmonds has been under a State Secrets gag order since 2002.
