John Edwards: Indictment Looming
After completing a lengthy investigation into the cover up of his affair and love child with mistress
Rielle Hunter during his 2008 run for president, the federal government is reportedly ready to hand down an indictment to
John Edwards.
According to People, one source has told, "We've learned that the government is pressing ahead to prosecute, and this phase of the case is swiftly coming to a conclusion."
The case against Edwards presumes that money from outside political groups and John's own donors was given to Rielle, along with campaign aide Andrew Young, in effort to keep the relationship and love child under wraps.
Another source explained that, as of late, Edwards has become distant - steering clear of his family's Chapel Hill, North Carolina estate where he resides with his young two children Emma Clair and Jack.
