JOHN EDWARDS ADMITS FATHERING CHILD

John Edwards

Former presidential candidate John Edwards is admitting fathering his former campaign videographer's daughter. In a statement released to NBC News, Edwards said, "I am Quinn’s father...It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me." Edwards has been denying for months that he fathered former mistress Rielle Hunter's daughter, Frances Quinn. The revelation also comes a week before his former campaign aide, Andrew Young, is set to appear in an ABC interview saying he posed as the father as a favor to his boss Edwards. Edwards has also admitted to providing financial support to the child and said in the statement that he has "reached an agreement with her mother to continue providing support in the future." "To all those I have disappointed and hurt these words will never be enough, but I am truly sorry," Edwards said. Young's interview is scheduled to air on ABC next Friday.
