FORMER Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards finally came forward to admit yesterday that he fathered a child with a woman that he hired before his second White House bid.
Edwards, a former United States senator from North Carolina and 2004 vice presidential candidate, confirmed this in a statement released to The Associated Press, after initially denying he'd fathered a child during his affair with videographer Rielle Hunter.
"I am Quinn's father," the former senator declared in his statement, as the second birthday of Frances Quinn Hunter approaches. He vowed to do "everything in my power" to support her.
"It was wrong for me ever to deny she was my daughter and hopefully one day, when she understands, she will forgive me," he said.
A former Edwards aide, Andrew Young, initially had claimed paternity of the child. Young is scheduled to release a book on February 2 that details the scandal.
Frances was born February 27, 2008, indicating that she was conceived in the middle of 2007, several months after Hunter stopped working for Edwards.
Edwards dropped out of the presidential race on January 30, 2008.
He admitted the affair in August 2008 but denied he was the father of the child until now.
