Dennis Hastert is going home to Chicago to complete his sentence.



CHICAGO — Nearly 13 months after checking in to a federal prison in Minnesota, former U.S. House Speaker Dennis Hastert has returned to Chicago under supervision to complete the remaining month of his sentence for breaking banking laws to hide his sexual abuse of teenage boys.

Hastert, 75, was listed Tuesday morning as entering a residential re-entry management field office in Chicago, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons website.

Hastert's official release date is Aug. 16, and it's unclear if he'll serve the remainder of his term on home confinement or at a local halfway house.

Federal prosecutors began to build a case against Hastert in December 2014 after a Yorkville, Ill., bank noticed Hastert making suspicious withdrawals.
