100 Example General Summary Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich is asking a judge to force his estranged wife to turn over money he says she is hoarding. On Thursday, accusations of wrongdoing and the mining of dirt in the former U.S. House speaker's divorce case gave way to a secret settlement between Gingrich and his wife of 18 years, Marianne Gingrich. Gingrich filed for divorce July 29 amid allegations he is having an affair with 33-year-old congressional aide Callista Bisek. Newt Gingrich's attorney, Randy Evans, says Marianne Gingrich has refused to even discuss a settlement until she questions Bisek.

101 Example Topical Summary Callista Bisek Marianne Gingrich also wants to depose Callista Bisek, a congressional aide with whom the former U.S. House speaker has a relationship. And in motions filed last week in Superior Court for the District of Columbia, Callista Bisek, a clerk for the House Agriculture Committee, asked a judge to overturn a Georgia court order requiring her to answer questions about her relationship with Gingrich. Mayoue has said he intends to question Bisek about all aspects of her relationship with Newt Gingrich.

102 Example Topical Summary Gingrich Bio / Post-Speaker Life Gingrich is best known leading the Republican Party's takeover of the House in During that so-called Republican Revolution, Gingrich emphasized that "family values" should be a core pillar in American society. Since resigning as speaker and from the congressional seat he held for 20 years, Gingrich has been making a living giving speeches, sitting on corporate boards, consulting and appearing as a political analyst on Fox News. U.S. Rep. J.D. Hayworth (R-Ariz.) argued that Gingrich's new job as a political commentator for Fox News makes it inappropriate to include him in political gatherings. "Time marches on. He's gone on to other pursuits," Hayworth said.
