John Edwards would like this story to end today but it looks like there’s a lot more waiting to be revealed:
Dallas lawyer Fred Baron told The Dallas Morning News today that he paid relocation and housing expenses for the woman that former presidential candidate John Edwards has confessed to having an affair with.
Mr. Baron, who was chairman of Mr. Edwards’ presidential campaign finance committee, said he paid money for Rielle Hunter to move from North Carolina to another location.
John Edwards admits to affair, denies fathering child
He said she and another campaign aide, Andrew Young, who claimed paternity of Ms. Hunter’s child, were being dogged by tabloid reporters who believed she had an affair with Mr. Edwards and fathered the child.
Mr. Baron would not say how much money he provided for the couple’s move. He said Mr. Edwards did not know about the arrangement.
John Edwards didn’t know - sure. Now we know why he went out of his way to make this point in his statement:
I also have not been engaged in any activity of any description that requested, agreed to or supported payments of any kind to the woman or to the apparent father of the baby.
Hard to believe isn’t it?
