I am sure the media will give this a token mention just like they did with the affair.
Report: DNA Test Proves Edwards Fathered Videographer's Daughter - Political News - FOXNews.com
A secret DNA test proves former presidential candidate John Edwards is the father of his former campaign aide's baby, the National Enquirer reported Wednesday.
The Enquirer, which last year broke the story of Edwards' affair with campaign videographer Rielle Hunter, said the test was taken after Hunter tried to get financial help from Edwards for her 18-month-old daughter, Frances.
Hunter apparently agreed to testify to a federal grand jury investigating whether Edwards broke campaign finance law by paying "hush" money to Hunter and another aide who claimed paternity of the child. Hunter was spotted last week in Raleigh, N.C., entering a federal courthouse, where she spent nine hours.
Edwards adamantly denied during a confessional interview with ABC News last summer that he had fathered a child with Hunter, and he said he welcomed a paternity test. His wife, Elizabeth, has said while promoting her book that she doesn't know if her husband is the father.
Former Edwards aide Andrew Young, who made a similar courthouse visit while the grand jury was sitting last month, said in 2007 he was the child's father. Hunter said around the same time that Young was the father and the birth certificate does not list a father's name.
