Rielle Hunter, John Edwards’ former mistress and, perhaps, the mother of his child, spent 9 hours in the federal courthouse in Raleigh yesterday. This morning’s N&O has the details.

She presumably testified to a grand jury that is investigating the presidential campaign finances of Edwards.

Here is a shot that Don Carrington got as Hunter left the building around 5:30 p.m. yesterday.

The man on the left apparently is her attorney and the man on the right is a federal agent.
