WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A spokesman for House Speaker Dennis Hastert Thursday echoed the Illinois Republican's previous assertion that he is "confident" in the House ethics committee's investigation into the Foley page scandal.

Ron Bonjean, Hastert's spokesman, made this remark at around the same time Kirk Fordham, the former chief-of-staff to ex-Rep. Mark Foley, wrapped up his testimony to the ethics committee about the Florida Republican's inappropriate behavior with House pages.

"The Ethics Committee is investigating this matter and we are confident in its ability to determine the real facts," Bonjean said in a prepared statement. "The Speaker has said that any person who is found guilty of improper conduct involving sexual contact or communication with a page should immediately resign, be fired, or be subjected to a vote of expulsion."
