During his failed Presidential candidacy in 2008, the National Enquirer reported that former Senator John Edwards had an affair with his campaign videographer Rielle Hunter.
It was later rumored that Edwards had fathered Hunter’s newborn daughter though he publicly denied those claims.
Well, a day after the National Enquirer released a story that they had DNA proof that Edwards was the father, a news station in Edwards’ home state of North Carolina reports that Edwards will soon admit that he is indeed the father of the 18-month-old baby.
The reason for the admission, reportedly, is that there is an ongoing criminal investigation to see whether or not Edwards and his campaign paid Hunter to keep quiet about the affair. The new mother was seen walking into a Grand Jury inquisition last week where she spent 9 hours. Also up for questioning with the Grand Jury was former Edwards aide Andrew Young, who came out and said he was indeed the father of the baby.
Apparently though, that was because he got paid off too.
Wow – sounds like a whole bunch of trouble for Mr. Edwards. If this is all true of course.
Politicians make mistakes, it happens more often than not. But the worse thing they can do it lie about it and then come back and admit that you lied.
Unless, of course, you are Bill Clinton.
