Amid reports that a federal indictment could be coming for John Edwards, ABC reports on a meeting between Edwards and 100-year-old heiress/campaign donor Bunny Mellon:
ABC’s James Hill reports: John Edwards, while facing looming criminal indictment, spent the afternoon in Upperville, Virginia, visiting one of the key players in the alleged scheme to cover-up his affair.
Multiple sources at the estate of Rachel “Bunny” Mellon confirm to ABC News that the former North Carolina senator met Mellon today for lunch at her sprawling compound in Northern Virginia.
The purpose of the visit is unclear, but it is sure to raise eyebrows with federal investigators who have spent more than two years scrutinizing Mellon’s contributions to Edwards and his presidential campaign. Attorneys for Edwards did not respond to requests for comment.
Meantime, Edwards attorney Greg Craig says his client has broken no law.
