A federal judge disclosed Friday that former presidential candidate John Edwards has a life-threatening heart condition, a court source confirmed to CNN.
Edwards had sought a delay in his criminal corruption trial, scheduled to begin this month.
Attorneys and the federal judge met in a North Carolina courtroom Friday afternoon for a status hearing regarding the pending trial of Edwards, a former U.S. senator.
Edwards appeared at Friday's hearing. His lawyers had made the motion for a delay under seal, but some of its details were publicly revealed by the judge in the open hearing.

I didn’t think he had a heart.
Sure John, we believe you! And, I have a life-threatening male pattern baldness condition that prevents me also from serving time in the pokey!
So it is an arrhythmia that causes syncope/fainting and the operation would be ablation to burn the electrical node(s) generating the arrhythmia. can be aggravated by stress, and this wuss would get stressed by a hairdresser.
There are docs in NC who would refuse treating him- these are prob UNC where he did law school. Duke wouldn't treat him or the wife so she went to Boston. What a boring soap opera of arrogant a-holes— y’know, there for the working man in a state where the largest employer is govt- private cos. left because of tort pimps like him. Judge is obama appointee,
Edwards spent his life as a trial lawyer. He made a fortune from lawsuits and making life miserable for others his profession impacted.
He deserves all that is coming to him. Nothing more can be said.
Correct.
Among those, she was a regular DUmpster poster.
With all the hate that implies.
I hope the POS needs to use a a fellow Shyster, no doctor should touch him.
If he doesn’t have the alleged conditioned, put his ass in jail until he does. If he does have the condition, let him have his operation so he lives long enough to serve his sentence.
Instant Karma ‘s gonna get you Johnny...
"This is what you get when you mess with us."
And shame on his “doctors”. After all those years Edwards spent enriching himself and ruining defendant physicians’ medical practices with his bogus claims and snake-oil salesman courtroom theatrics, how could any self-respecting member of the medical profession take Edwards on as a patient?
And Johnny Edwards thought that by chasing ambulances it would make him a working class hero...
