So... ya... his wife has known about this one. The crazy thing here is that the church leader (Boyd) who replaced Haggard is saying that the money paid to the young man (for college... you know... compassionate assistance) was not "hush money". THEY ARE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF PAYING HIM $179,000. It would be interesting to know how many other individuals were granted this sort of compassion by New Life Church over the past 10 years. Will people just say anything? ANYTHING? According to another report:
