2. Why do you assume this is factual?

Google sources have detailed info, but here's one picked at random:

Hastert, who was the longest-serving Republican House speaker, doesn’t appear to be among the wealthiest ex-lawmakers. But the former high school wrestling coach wasn’t doing too bad for himself, money-wise.

When he left office in 2007, he was worth between $4 million and $17 million, according to financial disclosure filings. Although most of his wealth was tied to real estate holdings, he had a steady flow of cash from different sources as well.

Look at how long he tried to hide this story. He spent decades covering it up, so the likelihood of him opening himself up to someone who had more millions than he did and risking discovery, is highly improbable. It's also never been mentioned in news reports of the trial.
