CHICAGO - A federal judge has set the conditions for Dennis Hastert's pretrial release after he pleaded not guilty in a hush-money case.
During Hastert's first court appearance in the case, U.S. District Judge Thomas M. Durkin said he must not violate any laws, cooperate in collection of DNA if authorized by court and advise officials before changing his name or phone number.
Hastert's defense attorney says the former House speaker has already surrendered his passport.
