Fred Baron Is Still Part of the John Edwards Story

An alert FBvian points us to a New York Times story that ran over the weekend about John Edwards and his love child. In it, Fred Baron’s role in the attempted cover-up becomes a little more clear. As in, apparently at one point, Edwards asked Baron if he knew a doctor who would falsify a DNA report. Before his death, Baron had said that he’d provided assistance to Edwards’ lover without Edwards’ knowledge. A federal grand jury is still investigating whether campaign laws were violated in an attempt to conceal the whole sordid business.
