John Edwards indicted in $925K mistress cover-up
None
John Edwards acknowledged he has "done wrong" and hurt others but strongly denied breaking the law after federal prosecutors charged him with using $925,000 in under-the-table campaign contributions to hide his pregnant mistress during his 2008 run for president.
The former US senator and two-time Democratic presidential hopeful was indicted Friday on six felony charges that he violated campaign finance laws in a desperate bid to protect both his White House hopes and his image as a devoted family man. Edwards, 57, pleaded not guilty and was released without bail on the condition he surrender his passport and not leave the continental US. (AP)
