Dennis Hastert Reports To Serve 15-Month Prison Sentence In Wheelchair (VIDEO)

Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert reported to prison Wednesday to serve his 15-month prison sentence in a wheelchair, with video showing Hastert struggle to get over a curb on his way to the prison doors.

Hastert is serving out his term for his conviction in a hush money case, which stemmed from allegations of sexual abuse, at a medical prison in Minnesota. The former speaker suffered a stroke shortly after pleading guilty last year.
