After many years of investigation, denials and almost endless delays, former presidential candidate John Edwards finally found his way into a courtroom. Jury selection has finally begun in Edward’s criminal trial related to nearly $1 million in secret payments made by two campaign donors to help hide the married Democrat’s pregnant mistress, Reille Hunter, as he ran for president in 2008.
It’s crazy to think back and recall that the affair was initially only reported by The National Enquirer, as no major media outlets initially gave it any coverage. Thinking about all the details, including Edwards telling the nation he cheated while his wife’s cancer was in remission, just makes me cringe.
I decided to raid our archives, and here are five cartoons about the John Edwards affair…
