WASHINGTON – John Edwards says he made a serious error in judgment when he had an affair and is ashamed of his conduct. In a statement, the former Democratic presidential candidate also said he informed his wife about his affair with 42-year-old Rielle Hunter in 2006 and has asked her forgiveness.
Edwards said he is not the father of the woman’s daughter and is willing to take a test to determine the 5-month-old baby’s paternity.
He said the affair lasted for a short time in 2006.
Until Friday, Edwards had denied reports in the National Enquirer that he had an affair while his wife, Elizabeth, was battling cancer. He admitted to the affair in an interview with ABC News, then released a statement.
