John "Baby Daddy" Edwards being Investigated for Improper Use of Campaign Funds

With not a hair out of place, the most famous deadbeat dad in the world denies any improper use of campaign funds. But he is still unable to explain the improper use of his tallywacker as his wife lay stricken with cancer...

From Open Secrets --

After breaking the story of Edwards's romantic involvement with actress and filmmaker Rielle Hunter, the National Enquirer last month broke the news of a secret grand jury investigation into the former North Carolina senator's possible violations of campaign finance laws.

Now other media in the state have also confirmed that a grand jury is investigating whether Edwards used campaign cash to make payments to Hunter. "I am confident that no funds from my campaign were used improperly," Edwards said in a statement to the Raleigh News & Observer. The grand jury is reportedly also looking into cash coming from a handful of non-profits associated with Edwards, groups that are not bound by the same contribution limits and disclosure requirements as his campaign committee.
