...DEVELOPING...

NATIONAL ENQUIRER WORLD EXCLUSIVE: JOHN EDWARDS LOVE CHILD SCANDAL!

The woman linked to Presidential candidate John Edwards in a cheating scandal is more than six months pregnant and telling a close confidante that Edwards is the father of her unborn child, The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has learned exclusively.

The NATIONAL ENQUIRER's political bombshell comes just weeks after Edwards emphatically denied having an affair with Rielle Hunter, who formerly worked on his campaign.

But The ENQUIRER has now confirmed not only that Rielle is pregnant, but she is also living in Chapel Hill, N.C. in a gated community, just a few streets away from Andrew Young, who has been a key official in Edwards' campaign.

Young has been in charge of looking after Hunter, according to sources, and she has been careful to stay out of sight during Edwards' campaign. A former Director of Operations for Edwards' campaign, Young's last official position with the campaign was North Carolina Finance Director.

He left that job about a month ago — nearly the same time Rielle relocated from the New Jersey area to Chapel Hill.

In a bizarre twist, Young, a 41-year-old married man with young children, now claims HE is the father of Reille's baby.

But others are skeptical about his claim and talk of a political cover up is heating up.

Reille, when contacted in person by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER, denied that she was Reille Hunter. Later, she hired a lawyer and issued a statement, saying that Young is the father.

But a source close to the 43-year-old divorcee says Rielle has told a far different story privately.

"Rielle told me she had a secret affair with Edwards. When she found out that she was pregnant she said he was the father."

Rielle loves Edwards and will do anything to protect him, the source said.

The NATIONAL ENQUIRER has obtained exclusive photos of a visibly pregnant Rielle and learned from close sources that she has been in phone contact with Edwards. That information has not been denied by anyone.

"Rielle told me while Andrew Young is a friend, she's not romantically involved with him," says the source close to Rielle.

MORE DETAILS WILL BE POSTED HERE LATER AND ARE IN THE NEXT EDITION OF THE NATIONAL ENQUIRER!

Sorry my post came off as so judgmental....it’s not for me to judge another, however, tho I’m a Conservative, not a fan of the Edwards.. I have admired Elizabeth for her courage in the battle with cancer, when I read about the alleged affair, all I thought of, as a woman, was his wife and how awful this must be for her..even if it’s NOT true.

I put nothing past the Clintons....this could very well be another one of their slimy tricks to take care of the competition. Hope this clarifies my position....by the way, I also am a Christian.

Coming from The National Enquirer I would give this about as much credibility as I give Ron Paul.

Edwards appears ready for damage control, though it is yet unclear what tack he will take:
A. He came out yesterday to stay he will repeal Defense of Marriage act, signed in 1996 by Clinton. Thus, will he argue that marriage is irrelevant and that having a love child is no big deal?
B. He also was ranting about discrimination against homosexuals. Will he now argue that the kid couldn't be his (and stall DNA tests, like Howard K. Stern did, until after elections or buy off the woman), since he has been gay for the past year.
C. His sperm was stole. This is what Boris the tennis player accused the Russians of doing when faced with a paternity suit.

“Because we all know the National Enquirer checks, re-checks, and then checks again.”

At least they do a better job then the NY Slimes?

You’re right that he probably doesn’t have a shot at at the Presidency but it would still be nice to see him exposed for the phony that he is.

I say this in a good way: Elizabeth Edwards is delusional. Thats probably best for her. She can fix her mind on fighting with Anne Coulter rather than her cancer and the likelihood her children will grow up without her. I don’t even expect this will have an effect on her.

If she didn’t have the presidential campaign to fix her mind on, there would be something else to fix her mind on, of course, because psychologically thats how she would deal with it. There were better choices, IMO, and John Edwards, in my opinion, has always looked bad for continuing with his presidential ambitions. He’s got a commercial that says, “in the quiet of a hospital room, Elizabeth and I decided after 12 hours of tests and very bad news . . . “ What the hell was he doing putting her on the spot for a decision about his presidential campaign in a hospital room after 12 hours of tests and bad news?

You do realize that this POS would probably use his wife’s death as a sympathy ploy? I wouldn’t put it past him to create a page on his website for people to send in sympathy messages, and then use their addies to send requests for campaign donations.

Seriously.

Thats my take too: A 44 year old “former party girl” has set herself up for life financially. The man has $55 million and he was trying to ease out of the relationship when she got pregnant, at about the same time his wife’s cancer recurs. Theres a logic to it. We’ll find out if this 41 year old Andrew Young has the money to conceivably set her up in a gated community. (And why would Young move her to North Carolina? To be near his wife and kids?)

I disagree that its a HIllary take down. Logically, the story is coming from Rielle Hunter herself, just as the original story came from her (a friend telling tales). How would the National Enquirer have found her unless she told someone who told them? She wants to end Edwards presidential run. Theres nothing for her in him becoming president. She’s popping up again now to make sure to ice him in Iowa. If he became president somehow, she’d have to stay hidden even if his wife passed away. If he goes back to private life with his $55 million and his wife passes away, she’ll have a hold on him through the child and since he controls the money, his other children will have to accept it.

I agree. “Theres a sucker born every minute” and John Edwards is counting on all of them voting for him.

He’s gotten a free ride from the media.
