Dallas lawyer Fred Baron told The Dallas Morning News today that he made regular payments to the woman that former North Carolina Sen. John Edwards has confessed to having an affair with.
Mr. Baron, who was chairman of Mr. Edwards’ presidential campaign finance committee, said he paid money to Rielle Hunter to move from North Carolina to another location.
He said she and another campaign aide, Andrew Young, who claimed paternity of Ms. Hunter’s child, were being dogged by tabloid reporters who believed she had an affair with Mr. Edwards and fathered his child.
Mr. Baron would not say how much money he gave the couple to move.
“The money was purely and simply to get them out of North Carolina and to get them into a stable place.”
Mr. Baron called the entire episode a “tragedy” and said Mr. Edwards’ interview with ABC Friday night would be revealing.

And here I thought Edwards was gay
Drip, drip, drip.............. Maybe we’ll start hearing more allegations relating to this story. Hush money, allegations of payoffs, intimidation?????? Stay tuned. But also see if the MSM sticks with this story, or let’s it die out.
Drip-Drip-Drip.
I smell a violation of federal law
Democrat culture of corruption continues.
And how much of my tax dollars paid for this?
Maybe ms. Hunter's a she-male.
I call it an "ATROCITY"!!!!
If those weren't personal funds but from the campaign, aren't we talking about violation of Federal elections laws here?
nothing to see here. Just another dishonest Democrat.
A lot depends on the correct answer to this question.
I'm thinking that Mr. Baron did not use money that belonged to Mr. and Mrs. Edwards, nor from his own checkbook.
We shall see.
This musses up Elisabeth’s speech at the Dem convention.
Its comforting to know that she will take HALF of this shysters bank account
She “fathered his child.” Now that’s really news.
Were these payments reported as either income or gifts to the IRS?
Was tax payed on them?
You gotta wonder why this guy is so eager to give us details.
I suspect he is looking to plea bargain
‘cept she had a baby
Silky is ruined L0L
Thats some ACE reporting L0L!
Why was she living in NC? I don’t think she was from there?
