Former presidential candidate John Edwards was called upon to submit a sworn deposition on May 13 about his relationship with mistress Rielle Hunter, The Daily Beast reported Friday.
Edwards’ testimony in Hunter’s invasion of privacy lawsuit against Andrew Young, a former Edwards aide, is expected to focus on whether he might have spent federal campaign funds to hide his relationship with Hunter, who documented Edwards’ presidential campaign and later gave birth to his child.
Edwards has said he is “confident” his campaign funds were used properly.
Hunter obtained a court order in January demanding Young turn over videotapes and photos Hunter claimed belonged to her. Young claimed in a tell-all book that he found a sex tape made by Edwards and Hunter in 2007.
