Disgraced presidential candidate John Edwards’ campaign bedroom shenanigans involved more than his love child’s mother, Rielle Hunter. He also stopped into a high-end brothel in Manhattan while on a fundraising trip to the city in 2007.
New York prosecutors knew about the episode, but refused to act on the testimony of the prostitute.
According to "On The Inside" sources, Edwards allegedly hooked up with one of ["Millionaire Madam" Anna] Gristina’s high-end hookers in 2007 when the dashing pol from North Carolina brought his then high-flying presidential campaign to the Big Apple.
The one-night fling allegedly took place at an Upper East Side hotel suite and was arranged by an aide with help from a New Yorker familiar with Gristina’s prostitution ring, sources said.
The prostitute claiming to have slept with Edwards provided a detailed, first-hand account of their encounter to investigators in the Manhattan District Attorney's office in 2008 after they began probing Gristina’s operation, sources said.
Edwards has bigger legal problems to worry about. The federal government has charged him with using campaign donations to cover up for his love affair with Hunter.
