A hotel security guard told FOXNews.com he intervened this week between a man he identified as former Sen. John Edwards and tabloid reporters who chased down the former presidential hopeful after what they're calling a rendezvous with his mistress and love child.
The Beverly Hilton Hotel guard said he encountered a shaken and ashen-faced Edwards whom he did not immediately recognize in a hotel men's room early Tuesday morning in a literal tug-of-war with reporters on the other side of the door.
"What are they saying about me?" the guard said Edwards asked.
"His face just went totally white," the guard said, when Edwards was told the reporters were shouting out questions about Edwards and Rielle Hunter, a woman the National Enquirer says is the mother his child.
The guard said he escorted Edwards, who was not a registered guest at the hotel, out of the building after 2 a.m. Edwards did not say anything while he was escorted out, said the guard, adding that at times the reporters on the scene were "rough on him," sticking a camera in his face and shouting questions.
The guard did not recognize Edwards at the time of the incident, but said he concluded it was the 2008 presidential hopeful after hearing reports about the incident and finding an Enquirer reporter's notebook at the scene.

Still, the mainstream media ignores it. This is just ‘Fox News’ anyway...

Hillary took out Edwards as possible VP. She is not dead yet.

He threw in behind Baraq not to be VP, but he wants the AG slot.
Sad thing is in today’s Dem climate he might get the appointment no matter if this story pans out or not.

LOL! What a pathetic twit. My stomach hurts from laughter.

“Hillary took out Edwards as possible VP. “
Nah, but she may benefit. Johnny has been bashing the Enquirer for some time for exposing this story some time ago. I think the paper probably had a PI following the woman.

Has Edwards denied it happened?

Security Guard Confirms Late-Night Encounter Between Former Sen. John EdwardsI don't think it's late-night encounters with security guards that have gotten Edwards into hot water.

Yep, Gotta get the rumor mill in full spin to maximize the pix $$ value and command the highest price before selling the video to TMZ or whatever entertainment hype channel.
I wouldn’t be surprised to find Edwards people in on the bidding to acquire it all. I that did play out I love the irony of his “refined” good old boy, clean cut image paying through the nose for listening to his Johnson.
