EDWARDS BIG MONEY DONOR WITNESSES SUBPOENAED

description

The relatives of 100 year old heiress BUNNY MELLON, who contributed to disgraced JOHN EDWARDS presidential campaign, have been subpoenaed by a Federal Grand Jury, The ENQUIRER has learned.

Corroborating The ENQUIRER’sr exhaustive investigation former loyalist ANDREW YOUNG said he helped take care of Edwards pregnant mistress Rielle Hunter during the 2008 presidential campaign and for many months afterward.

As The ENQUIRER previously reported Young received hundreds of thousands of dollars in support from not only Rachel "Bunny" Mellon, the widow of banking heir Paul Mellon, but from Edwards campaign finance manager Fred Baron, who died from cancer last year.

Bunny Mellon gave at least $495,000 to a labor-backed campaign group through a corporation that holds her assets to an organization that  created ads for the campaign.

The heiress also gave to the Edwards campaign directly.

Alexander Forger , a NY based lawyer for Mellon, told AP that Mellon’s son, two grandsons and one of the grandson’s wives were present at the federal courthouse in Raleigh, NC where the Federal grand jury was convening.

Forger confirmed subpoenas had been issued to Mellon’s son, Stacy Lloyd III; his two sons, Stacy Lloyd IV and Thomas Lloyd as well as Rickie Lloyd, Thomas Lloyd’s wife

Mellon, who lives in northern Virginia, has been interviewed twice at her sprawling estate by federal  prosecutors and agents, Forger said.

Spurred by the ENQUIRER’s ongoing reports, the secret grand jury have been digging deep into two-time Presidential loser John Edwards’ campaign finances for more than a year.

The former senator who ran for president in 2004 and 2008 is believed to have funneled money earmarked for the campaign to bankroll an elaborate conspiracy of deceit and lies in his repeated attempts to hide his mistress and their infant love child from the world.

Edwards has said previously he is confident no campaign funds were used improperly.

In the past, he also said he didn’t have a mistress named Rielle Hunter, then after The ENQUIRER published more bombshells in a series of worldwide exclusives,  he ‘fessed up on national TV but still denied paternity of the child. 

Months later Edwards finally admitted he was the father in the wake of yet another ENQUIRER exclusive.
