Andrew Young, the Justice Department’s key witness in their case against John Edwards, may have reached out to other witnesses and asked them about their testimony in violation of the law, the Associated Press reports:
U.S. District Court Judge Catherine C. Eagles said Monday that former Edwards aide Andrew Young called the three other witnesses in the last two weeks. Eagles ruled that lawyers for Edwards could mention the improper contact to jurors in opening arguments Monday, but barred using the term “witness tampering” or telling the jury that Young had a one-night stand with one of the other witnesses in 2007.
