I hope you’re sitting down, because ABC News has uncovered more evidence that John Edwards is continuing to lie about his extramarital affair: Is John Edwards Still Lying?
A one-time close friend of John Edwards’ ex-mistress says the former Senator is still not telling the whole truth about how his affair with Rielle Hunter began.
Edwards told ABC News’ Bob Woodruff last week that he and Hunter began their affair only after Hunter was hired for the campaign to produce a series of films for the internet and she began traveling with him.
“She was hired to come in and produce films and that’s the reason she was hired,” said Edwards.
But that version of events is now being challenged by a one time close friend of Hunter’s, Pidgeon O’Brien.
“The affair began long, long, long before she was hired to work for the campaign almost half a year before she was hired to work on those videos,” O’Brien said in an exclusive interview with ABC News.
O’Brien says Hunter told her that in late February, early March 2006 she met an amazing man from North Carolina named John at a New York City hotel bar. She referred to her new man as ‘Love Lips’, whom she said was married with small children and a wife who had been ill.
Some say Hunter, a devotee of new age spirituality, is given to exaggeration.
