ABC Ignores Denny’s Grand SlamHastert has struck back at ABC News for saying he is under investigation by the Justice Department in connection with the Abramoff trial. But the network appears not to be heeding him.
Hastert had his personal lawyer write an angry letter to ABC, accusing the network of “libel and defamation” for its “publication of… false information, after having actual knowledge of its falsity[.]” This is on top of his earlier demand that ABC retract its story.
ABC’s apparent response? Bring it. The network published yet another story, this one not even about Hastert, that manages to mention one more time the allegation that the Feds are looking into the House Speaker.
