Huffington Post immediate reported that they had seen emails that showed that Edwards was possibly still telling lies about the relationship, claiming those emails from Hunter to a friend showed that the affair started before Edwards hired Hunter.
Now ABC produces the friend those emails were sent to by Hunter.
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.
O'Brien said she later realized this man was John Edwards.
Edwards still denies being Hunter's baby's father, but since he lied for months on end abut the affair, then lied as he was supposedly "coming clean", who would really believe him at this point?
Side note. Wolfson claims that the Edwards Cover-up cost Clinton the Democratic nomination.
