Breaking: Edwards Admits Affair

This just in:  Former NC Senator John Edwards tells ABC's Bob Woodruff he did have an extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter, but maintains he is not the father of her child.  The interview airs on Nightline tonight.

"Edwards today admitted the National Enquirer was correct when it reported he had visited Hunter at the Beverly Hills Hilton last month. The former Senator said his wife had not known about the meeting." 

[snip]

"Edwards denied paying any money to Hunter to keep her from going public but said it was possible some of his friends or supporters may have made payments without telling him."

Guess now we know why he didn't issue a denial. 

More as it comes in.
