WRAL: John Edwards to Admit He is Baby's Father

August 14, 2009

WRAL reports that sources are telling them that John Edwards is going to admit that he is the father of Rielle Hunter's baby. Edwards has admitted to having an affair with Rielle Hunter but said his affair ended before the child was conceived.

Edwards, a two-time Democratic presidential candidate, confessed last August to having an affair with Rielle Hunter, who served as a videographer on Edwards' 2008 campaign. He has denied fathering her daughter, saying his relationship with Hunter ended before the child was conceived.

The name of the girl's father isn't disclosed on her birth certificate. Andrew Young, a long-time Edwards aide, initially claimed to be the father of Hunter's child, but he is reportedly writing a book in which he will claim Edwards is the father.

The National Enquirer ran a story yesterday alleging that a secret DNA test had confirmed that John Edwards is the father of the baby. The baby is now 18-months old.
