The National Enquirer is putting Edwards on blast for alleged love triangle with pregnant ex-aide . Is it true???The American supermarket tabloid the National Enquirer has dropped a bombshell on the Democratic race for the White House with a story, long rumoured, that John Edwards cheated on his wife who is terminally ill with cancer, and is the father of an unborn love child.
The story has been published just as a new poll shows Edwards pulling ahead of his two more high-profile rivals, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, in the state of Iowa where the first caucuses in the 2008 campaign are being held on January 3.
The Enquirer names the mother as Rielle Hunter, who was attached to the Edwards campaign for a while when she traveled with the candidate to make videos of his life on the road. The paper says Hunter is six months pregnant and claims that she has told a close confidante that Edwards is the father. The paper says she living in North Carolina in a gated community, a few streets away from one of Edwards's key campaign officials.
