The conservative commentator Armstrong Williams has reached a settlement with prosecutors regarding payments he received from the Education Department to promote President Bush’s agenda. Under the settlement, Mr. Williams admits no wrongdoing but will have to pay $34,000 that prosecutors determined he had been overpaid. The deal was reached last week by Mr. Williams, the Education Department and one of its subcontractors, Ketchum Communications.
