Rielle Hunter baby’s DNA tests are in, and the father is…… John Edwards

A secret DNA test proves former presidential candidate John Edwards is the father of the baby born from an affair with a campaign aide, the National Enquirer reported Wednesday. More from Fox News:

The Enquirer, which last year broke the story of Edwards’ affair with campaign videographer Rielle Hunter and their alleged “love child,” said the test was taken after Hunter tried to get financial help from Edwards for the 18-month-old girl named Frances.

Hunter apparently agreed to testify to a federal grand jury investigating whether Edwards broke campaign finance law by paying “hush” money to Hunter and former aide who claimed paternity in Edwards’ stead. Hunter was spotted last week in Raleigh, N.C., entering a federal courthouse, where she spent nine hours.

Edwards adamantly denied during a confessional interview with ABC News last summer that he had fathered a child with Hunter, and he welcomed a paternity test. His wife, Elizabeth, has said while promoting her book that she doesn’t know if her husband is the father.
