An aide to former Sen. John Edwards said Friday that the Democrat told him “to go fuck myself” when he confronted Edwards about his affair with Rielle Hunter, Reuters reports.
“I told him if it was true that he was having an affair with Ms. Hunter, he should not run for president,” Peter Scher testified during the second week of the Edwards trial, according to Reuters. “If it was true, eventually it would come out and it would destroy his political career.”
