IN a bombshell ENQUIRER exclusive, the mother-in-law of John Edwards‘ former campaign aide reveals the family knew all along that her son-in-law lied to protect his boss’ presidential candidacy.
Susan Pfister – whose daughter Cheri is married to Edwards’ ex-aide Andrew Young – confirmed to The ENQUIRER that Young will take back his claim that he fathered Rielle Hunter’s baby.
"Cheri KNEW from the get-go that her husband had not been unfaithful to her. But the public didn’t know," Pfister told The ENQUIRER exclusively.
"Everyone in the families knew, but we stayed out of it. Cheri was forced to go along with it. It was a big strain on her and the marriage."
Young lied, claiming paternity for the baby, after he was contacted for comment by The ENQUIRER as we were about to go to press breaking the news that John Edwards was having an affair with Rielle and that, at the time, she was pregnant with his baby.
In an attempt to stop the ENQUIRER blockbuster story, Edwards masterminded the lie of having his pal Young claim paternity. Representatives for Young, Edwards and Hunter all tried to stop the story, with Edwards and Young insisting that Young had gotten Hunter pregnant after an affair. All three threatened litigation against The ENQUIRER, which refused to back down and published the story.
Now Young is suddenly telling the truth – and hoping to profit off of it, as his tell-all book proposal has been making headline worldwide. The former Edwards loyalist turned renegade to save his own neck before the Federal Grand Jury confirmed the ENQUIRER’s exhaustive investigation.
The ENQUIRER breaks new ground in the issue that hits stands Friday, with Young’s mother-in-law providing behind-the-scenes details of the coverup.
And in another blockbuster report, The ENQUIRER breaks the news that Elizabeth Edwards finally wants out of the marriage, after discovering that John had more affairs.
