    For more than two years, lawyers for the state of Illinois fought
    against a lawsuit filed by the former chief of staff to powerful
    Sen. Michael Hastings, D-Frankfort.

    But the state paid $100,000 earlier this year to the ex-chief of
    staff to Hastings and her lawyer to settle the case, which included
    accusations of racial and gender discrimination against the
    Democratic lawmaker.

    The state also hired a private attorney who represented Hastings —
    for nearly $47,000.

    Though the civil case has been settled, Hastings now faces serious
    new personal accusations from his estranged wife that recently came
    into public view and have threatened to derail his once-promising
    political career.

    According to police records obtained by WBEZ, Hastings’s wife told
    officers last year that, in 2020, he put her in a headlock and
    repeatedly slammed her into a door. Hastings has denied the
    accusations.
