In a bombshell disclosure, an upcoming book will reveal disgraced presidential candidate John Edwards once tried to find a doctor to fake a DNA report to cover up the paternity of his love child!
The ENQUIRER was first to reveal the former North Carolina senator fathered a baby with his mistress Rielle Hunter, and the new revelation comes from Edwards’ former campaign aide Andrew Young, who is writing a tell-all book about the scandal.
In his book proposal, Young writes Edwards asked his national campaign finance chairman Fred Baron "if he could find a doctor who would falsify a DNA report."
Baron, who died last year of cancer, allegedly funneled upward of $20,000 a month in "hush money" to Rielle and Young, a married father of three who previously claimed he was Rielle’s baby daddy.
In his anticipated book, Young will claim he lied and took part in the cover-up to protect Edwards’ presidential candidacy.
The cover-up exploded on July 21, 2008, when ENQUIRER reporters caught Edwards secretly visiting Rielle and their daughter Frances – now 19 months old – at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills.
After the incident, Edwards finally admitted the affair, but has continued to deny being the baby’s father.
That, however, could soon change. We recently reported that Edwards conclusively learned he was the father after undergoing a secret DNA test, and that he’s told cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth that he’s "ready to publicly admit Frances is his baby."
The New York Times reported the fake DNA test in its Sept. 20 issue, and also quoted sources as saying Edwards is "considering declaring" paternity. The report says Elizabeth has resisted the idea of him admitting he’s the father.
The Times also confirmed another detail that ENQUIRER readers already know – Rielle is planning to move to North Carolina so she can raise her daughter near Edwards.
