Hastert Denies That He Plans To Resign Early

Former House Speaker Says He's Not Sure How Long He'll Serve

CHICAGO (AP) ― Former House Speaker Dennis Hastert is denying recent reports that he plans to resign before his term ends 15 months from now.

During a morning interview on WLS Radio's "The Don and Roma Morning Show," the Illinois Republican dismissed the reports, saying "rumor of my demise is greatly exaggerated."

Hastert says he is not sure how long he will continue to serve in Congress. But he says he has always planned to stay as long as he can get things done, and Hastert cited the energy bill he is promoting as one of the pieces of legislation he hopes to accomplish.
