In 2011, former Dimocrat presidential hopeful Johnny Reid Edwards admitted he had “done wrong” and hurt others but strongly denied breaking the law after federal prosecutors charged him with using $925,000 in under the table campaign contributions to hide his mistress and baby during his 2008 White House run. (After a 2012 trial in North Carolina, jurors acquitted Edwards on one count of accepting illegal campaign contributions and deadlocked on five other counts; prosecutors decided against retrying the case.) #JohnEdwards |
