Brian Ross relays the Justice Department’s latest on ABC’s story that Dennis Hastert is under investigation by the FBI, this one straight from the DoJ’s #2, Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty:

“With regard to reports suggesting that the Speaker of the House is under investigation or ‘in the mix,’ as stated by ABC News, I reconfirm, as stated by the Department earlier this evening, that these reports are untrue.”

That sounds like a comprehensive denial to me.
