The ENQUIRER has uncovered bombshell new details about the John Edwards sex scandal after the former presidential candidate finally admitted he'd cheated on his cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth!
Edwards' headline-making admission confirmed The ENQUIRER's blockbuster world exclusive reports detailing his affair, in articles Edwards brazenly called "completely untrue" and "tabloid trash" while running for president and afterward.
And now The ENQUIRER has uncovered that Edwards' political operatives are still paying his mistress Rielle Hunter - and she was whisked away on a private jet two days before he confessed their extramarital affair on national TV!
The ENQUIRER has also confirmed that Edwards secretly visited Rielle and their love child three separate times at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles this year - a fact that proves he is still lying to America and his wife.
ENQUIRER reporters caught Edwards, 55, making a late-night visit to 44-year-old Rielle and their daughter at the hotel on July 21 - which prompted us to release the first-ever photograph of him with his love child last week.
NOW, The ENQUIRER has uncovered more blockbuster information, including:
After Edwards confessed the affair to his wife, he restarted it, and was sexually involved with Rielle when she became pregnant.
Despite his denials, Edwards WAS aware that his former finance committee chairman, Fred Baron, was funneling money to Rielle.
Experts are now calling for a federal investigation into Edwards' use of campaign funds.
In an interview with ABC's Nightline correspondent Bob Woodruff on Aug. 8, the former North Carolina senator admitted for the first time that he engaged in what he called a "short" extramarital affair with campaign worker Rielle Hunter.
Edwards told ABC the affair was limited to 2006, before he confessed "the mistake" to wife Elizabeth, 59, who is battling a recurrence of breast cancer.
But Edwards denied he's the father of Rielle's daughter, who was born on Feb. 27, 2008. The ENQUIRER reported last December that Hunter had told close confidantes that he was the father.
In denying he fathered Rielle's baby, Edwards told ABC that he would "be happy" to take a paternity test to prove he's telling the truth. (He has refused numerous previous requests by The ENQUIRER to take a paternity test.)
Edwards claimed he ended the affair in 2006, but sources say he restarted the illicit romance after confessing to his wife.
Rielle soon became pregnant after the affair was rekindled, say sources.
The ongoing ENQUIRER investigation has also confirmed that he has been with Rielle and the baby three times this year in California.
"John Edwards is still lying!" a close source told The ENQUIRER.
"He lied to his wife Elizabeth, he's lying to Rielle and he lied all the way through his TV interview!"

This guy is such a phony I find it difficult to pull any compassion up for him or Elizabeth.
His caveat that the relationship had occurred while Elizabeth’s cancer was in remission, as if that made it ok, was pathetic.
Plus a lawyer like him getting hung out? Too good not to stop by the roadside and watch the beatdown.
The question I have is where was the vaunted Clinton machine with this dope?
There are 2 Americas - one for the grownups, and one for middle-aged Presidential candidates who flirt like an 8th grader standing in front of the lockers during break.
You think that his wife, who had cancer, somehow deserved this? Is that why you feel no compassion for her? That's a pretty mean-spirited attitude to take.
What Edwards did was wrong, so hold HIM responsible. Neither his dying wife, nor his children deserve this.
"I DID NOT RESTART OUR AFFAIR, NOW LEAVE US..UH..I MEAN ME ALONE"
Oh puleese, the two Edwards are both unworthy of repect.
If someone tried to shop a story to the Enquirer that Tom Delay had an affair two years ago, they wouldn't bother to print it, because he's out of the game and gets to have a private life again.
Was the pic of Edwards holding the baby from a video camera that ran the whole time he was in the room? Will there be more video pics forthcoming?
She KNEW about the affair and yet tried to push the SOB on us as the best presidential candidate ever....I have no sympathy for her either.
Easy there, CometBaby, Mrs Edwards knew about the affair, yet so lustful of power and position, she supported her husband’s quest for the nomination and office. So she put her country’s interest (and that of her much loved party’s) below her need for power. Perhaps you have not read her comments in the past on conservatives she wrote on ABC and Daily KOS. She is a bitter partisan, and she plays for keeps. She is due consideration for her illness, but not when she uses it as a shield and comes out swinging against her “scary” (her word) opponents. If she wants to deal privately with her illness, then she deserves our respect and concern. When she uses her illness and helps cover up her husband’s crimes (yes, campaign money used to pay Ms. Druck/Hunter) then she is an active partisan. She can’t have it both ways.
Your source?
I caught a report about that.

* Why did your campaign pay Baron more than $57,000 the month Rielle's baby was born? Oh, right. Must be a coincidence.
You make a very good case. Your reasoning is convincing. :-)
