The wife of John Edwards’ former aide Andrew Young testified Monday that Edwards knew of the checks coming from his wealthy supporters and gave assurances that it would not violate campaign funding laws for her to deposit the money in the personal account she shared with her husband.
Cheri Young, testifying at the start of the second week of the Edwards trial, said she listened in on a phone call between the 2008 Democratic presidential candidate and her husband after she raised questions about funneling hundreds of thousands of dollars through the Youngs’ private bank account.
