John Edwards, the former U.S. presidential candidate accused of accepting illegal campaign contributions to hide an extramarital affair, should face an October criminal trial, a federal prosecutor said.
Edwards, who has pleaded not guilty to charges he used donations to conceal the relationship and child he had with filmmaker Rielle Hunter while running for president in 2008, should be able to review evidence gathered by prosecutors in time for an October trial, Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert J. Higdon told a federal judge today in Greensboro, North Carolina.
