John Edwards and ex mistress Rielle Hunter

Lawyer and former U.S. Senator, John Edward’s may finally admit that he is the father of his former mistress  Rielle Hunter’s child.

It is no secret that John Edwards had an affair with Rielle Hunter during his presidential run in 2008, because he was finally caught in a media scandal showing his visit in July 2008   to Hunter and the baby at the Beverly Hills Hilton.

The National Enquirer initially broke the story.

However,  Edwards never admitted to being the father of the baby. In fact he has always denied that he was the father stating his relationship with Hunter ended before the child was conceived.

In fact Edwards may have no other choice but to admit paternity since his former aide Andrew Young,  who initially claimed to be the father of Hunter’s child, now denies it.  Young is reportedly writing a tell all book in which he will state Edwards is the father.

John Edwards is being criminally investigated by a Federal grand Jury as to whether his campaign funds were illegally paid to Hunter in order to keep her quiet about the affair.

Hunter spent nine hours last Thursday at the federal courthouse in Raleigh, where the grand jury was meeting. She brought her daughter, Frances, with her.

John Edward’s wife, Elizabeth, is still battling stage 4 metastatic breast cancer and continues treatment.
