Edwards profited from Katrina foreclosues: Democrats in the chase for the White House yesterday attacked former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards about his financial dealings with a company that invested in mortgage firms that were foreclosing on Hurricane Katrina victims. Former Alaska Sen. Mike Gravel, who is even lower in the polls than Edwards, quickly accused the former trial lawyer of hypocrisy during the Dems' debate here yesterday. "Just follow the money of the people on this dais, and you'll see a response," Gravel said. New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson piled on, adding, "This is the Katrina of the mortgage-lending industry." Despite his populist rhetoric against mortgage companies that foreclose on the victims of Katrina, Edwards invested roughly $16 million with Fortress Investment Group, a hedge fund that held several mortgage firms in its portfolio. Edwards also drew a hefty paycheck from the company while preparing for his current run for the White House. ......... nypost.com
