A former aide to John Edwards who claimed he fathered a child born to the mistress of the two-time Democratic presidential candidate spent Wednesday in a federal courthouse.
About 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, with his lawyer at his side, Andrew Young walked into the building in Raleigh where a grand jury was meeting. Young simply smiled as he went by and declined to comment about the investigation into his former boss. His attorney, David Geneson, did not return repeated calls from the AP.
A few months before the crucial 2008 presidential caucuses in Iowa, Young publicly declared that he was the father of Rielle Hunter's baby. Edwards placed second to Sen. Barack Obama, who went on to win the presidency. Edwards later admitted having an affair with Hunter that he says ended in 2006. (AP)
