Dennis Hastert, James Doe Yorkville case back in court next month
Hastert’s attorney John Ellis filed a motion March 7 to strike and for sanctions against Doe’s attorneys, saying Doe’s attorneys violated the confidentiality order by including depositions of six witnesses, including Hastert, in court filings. That comes after attorneys for Doe filed a motion to lift confidentiality designations and issuing a subpoena, which Hastert’s attorneys are trying to quash, to third-party law firm Sidley Austin in response to Doe’s testimony.
Hastert said in his deposition Doe was not supposed to disclose any allegations, agreement or “anything that was in that sphere.” He said Doe also wanted the $3.5 million to be given to him all at once.
The disclosed depositions also include previously confidential witness testimony from Doe’s wife, brother and wife’s sister’s husband. Doe’s wife said in her deposition she was aware that Hastert agreed to send $50,000 to Doe every six weeks until the full agreed-upon amount was paid.
