Former Senator and presidential candidate John Edwards just made a brief statement to cameras outside of a federal courtroom in North Carolina where he pled not guilty to charges he skirted campaign finance laws when he used donor money to cover up his affair.
“There’s no question that I’ve done wrong and I take full responsibility for having done wrong and I will regret for the rest of my life the pain and the harm that I’ve caused to others,” Edwards said.
“But i did not break the law and I never ever thought that I was breaking the law,” Edwards said. “Thank you very much.”
