REPORT: John Edwards To Admit He Fathered Rielle Hunter's Child
Posted on Aug 13, 2009 @ 08:20PM
Former U.S. Senator John Edwards is expected to claim paternity of his former mistress' young daughter, Sources tell Raleigh TV station WRAL.
The former mistress, Rielle Hunter, gave birth to a daughter named Frances in 2008, but Edwards has previously said that his affair with Hunter ended before the little girl was conceived, after the National Enquirer first broke the story of Edward's love child.
Edwards, who is being criminally investigated for allegedly improperly funneling campaign funds to Hunter, could publicly admit to being the child's father before the investigation concludes, reports WRAL.
A federal grand jury is investigating whether Edwards' campaign funds were illegally paid to Hunter to keep 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.
Also, The National Enquirer reports a secret DNA test was conducted that proves Edwards is the father.

Lucy, No one is obligated to accept Rielle's kid into the Edwards household. The only one with the obligation is John. His kids don't have to have a relationship with this baby especially at this time of their mom's illness

Francis isn't just Rielle's kid. She is John's daughter too. If she visits his home then his family there should embrace her. She's just a little girl & she shouldn't have to pay the price for her daddy being a horndog & her mother being trash.

God bless the National Enquirer - the only ones to tell it like it really is.
There's only one word missing from Edwards resume at this point -- "Indictment" -- 'for misuse of federal presidential campaign funds .

Elizabeth Edwards referred to Rielle's and John's baby as "it". The baby has a name, Francis, and Elizabeth better learn to say it sweetly because Francis will be visiting her daddy in his home and meeting her brothers and sisters.
