WASHINGTON — New Speaker Paul Ryan has had a portrait of Dennis Hastert removed from a hallway outside the House chamber, just days after the former speaker pleaded guilty to breaking banking laws in a hush money scheme.

The painting of Hastert, R-Ill., had hung for years in the Speaker’s Lobby, a plush area just outside the House chamber where lawmakers and reporters often congregate during votes. That lobby’s walls are adorned with portraits of 22 former speakers, with another 28 hanging in corridors and stairwells just outside the lobby.
