Edwards Admits Sexual Affair; Lied as Presidential Candidate In an ABC NEWS NIGHTLINE Interview, Edwards Reveals He Cheated, But Didn't Father Child By RHONDA SCHWARTZ and BRIAN ROSS August 8, 2008 [ How sweet it is. Edwards admits to affair, admits to lying about it while a candidate for President, admits that was him leaving the CA hotel at 2:40 AM after visiting his former mistress and her new baby, admits his wife didn't know he was there, but he still denies he's the daddy. The only thing he hasn't admitted. Frankly, who knows - his credibility is not high. Admitting he was papa would mean admitting his affair continued after his wife was no longer in remission from cancer, when he was still campaigning and preparing to renew his wedding vows with his wife. Faithful members of the flock can stop claiming the picture was photo-shopped now. Its no longer a thought crime for you to admit what was obvious to normal people. And I hope you'll forgive me for laughing at you. Don't ya just hate it when you guys turn out to be wrong and we turn out to be right? Hopefully, this will prevent Edwards being named VP, AG, or SC justice. Course, it is the no-shame party. ] John Edwards repeatedly lied during his Presidential campaign about an extramarital affair with a novice filmmaker, the former Senator admitted to ABC News today. In an interview for broadcast tonight on Nightline, Edwards told ABC News correspondent Bob Woodruff he did have an affair with 44-year old Rielle Hunter, but said that he did not love her. Edwards also denied he was the father of Hunter's baby girl, Frances Quinn, although the one-time Democratic Presidential candidate said he has not taken a paternity test. Edwards said he knew he was not the father based on timing of the baby's birth on February 27, 2008. He said his affair ended too soon for him to have been the father. A former campaign aide, Andrew Young, has said he was the father of the child. According to friends of Hunter, Edwards met her at a New York city bar in 2006. His political action committee later paid her $114,000 to produce campaign website documentaries despite her lack of experience. Edwards said the affair began during the campaign after she was hired. Hunter traveled with Edwards around the country and to Africa. Edwards said he told his wife, Elizabeth, and others in his family about the affair in 2006. Edwards made a point of telling Woodruff that his wife's cancer was in remission when he began the affair with Hunter. Elizabeth Edwards has since been diagnosed with an incurable form of the disease. When the National Enquirer first reported the alleged Edwards-Hunter affair last October 11, Edwards, his campaign staff and Hunter vociferously denounced the report. "The story is false, it's completely untrue, it's ridiculous," Edwards told reporters then. He repeated his denials just two weeks ago. Edwards today admitted the National Enquirer was correct when it reported he had visited Hunter at the Beverly Hills Hilton last month. The former Senator said his wife had not known about the meeting. abcnews.go.com Flashback to July 2007: ABC Coos Over ‘Presidential Nominee’ John Edwards's Visit to Wendy’s By NB Staff (Bio \| Archive) August 8, 2008 - 16:09 ET • [Note: NB's Scott Whitlock posted the below just over a year ago on July 31, 2007.] On Tuesday’s "Good Morning America," anchors Robin Roberts and Diane Sawyer touted the marital relationship between Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards and his wife.
