Sen. John Edwards Busted By The National Enquirer At Hotel With Mistress
The National Enquirer is reporting it was tipped off that Sen John Edwards would be meeting with his mistress Rielle Hunter -, at the Beverly Hills Hotel. It is rumored that Ms. Hunter is the mother of an illegitimate daughter fathered by Edwards. Meantime, his wife Elizabeth is still home battling cancer.
Excerpt from the article:
At 9:45 p.m. (PST) Monday Edwards appeared at the hotel, and was dropped off at a side entrance. NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporter Alan Butterfield witnessed the ex-senator get out of a BMW driven by a male companion and stroll into the hotel.
Said Butterfield: “Edwards was not carrying anything. He walked in alone. He was wearing a blue dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up. He was looking around nervously before he entered the hotel.
“Once inside, he interestingly bypassed the lobby and ducked down a side stairs to go to the bottom floor to catch the elevator up - rather than taking the elevator in the main lobby. He went out of his way not to be seen.”
Meanwhile, Reille had reserved rooms 246 and 252 under the name of the friend who had accompanied her from Santa Barbara, Bob McGovern. Reille was in one room and McGovern was in another with her baby. This allowed her and Edwards to spend time alone, a source revealed.
Edwards went out of the hotel briefly with Reille, was observed by the NATIONAL ENQUIRER and then went back to her room, where he stayed until attempting to sneak out of the hotel unseen at 2:40 a.m. (PST). But when he emerged alone from an elevator into the hotel basement he was greeted by several reporters from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER.
Senior NATIONAL ENQUIRER Reporter Alexander Hitchen asked Edwards why he was visiting Rielle and whether he was ready to confirm that he was the father of her baby.
Shocked to see a reporter, and without saying anything, Edwards ran up the stairs leading from the hotel basement to the lobby. But, spotting a photographer, he doubled back into the basement. As he emerged from the stairwell, reporter Butterfield asked questioned him about his hookup with Reille.
Edwards did not answer and then ran into a nearby restroom. He stayed inside for about 15 minutes, refusing to answer questions from the NATIONAL ENQUIRER about what he was doing in the hotel. A group of hotel security men eventually escorted him from the men’s room, while preventing the NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporters from following him out of the hotel.
Said reporter Hitchen: “After we confronted him about seeing Rielle, Edwards looked like a deer caught in headlights!
“He was clearly surprised that we had caught him at this very late hour inside the hotel.
\ “Some guests up at this late hour watched the spectacle in amusement from a staircase nearby.”

Another fantastic report by the National Enquirer. This beats their expose on Bill Clinton’s alien love child.
The National Enquirer! I’d not have taken you for one having “an Enquiring mind”!!!
Since when is the National Enquirer a reliable source of news. They are purveyors of smut. And whether the allegations are true or not, today, so are you.
Let us all hope this is true…These self rightous pols make me sick…Edwards can speak of the morality of helping the poor while he’s jumping in bed with some other woman and his wife is home…These guys make me sick…All of them, both sides..
Alien love child. LOL.
Let us not forget this is the very group that exposed Rush Limbaughs addition to oxycotin.
I find this one unique due to the fact they are claiming first hand knowledge - a enquirer “reporter” (an actual employee of the paper) was there with a cameraman waiting for him after being tipped off. This is not a “he said, she said.”
Time tells all.
After he’s preached to us about “the two Americas” while getting $400 haircuts, what does he do for an encore? He has an affair on his cancer-stricken wife who he used as a campaign prop. Forget about Ann Coulter’s comment. He’ll be called everything but a milk cow after this. I call him a typical liberal elist lying scumbag.
Not even Conservative Politics Today fans (majority) believe this garbage. National Enquirer…Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, UFO Landed in My Backyard…National Enquirer??? No video camera? No disposable camera? Not even a cell-phone pic of the event? How about some kind of recording? No? Just the mid-check security guard to verify the story!?!?! I thought they went on a “high-stakes” investigation? Well, I guess we’ll have to wait on two “shoe dropping” October surprises. The infamous Michelle Obama “whitey” tape, and verifiable proof that his actually happened!!!
