Politico is reporting charges are expected to be filed on Friday against former N.C. Senator John Edwards for campaign finance violations. Politico further reports Edwards met with Rachel Mellon, the benefactor that gave Edwards as much as $700,000, last week. Federal prosecutors will argue the money was used to hide Edwards’ affair in order to continue his presidential campaign bid while Edwards appears to be arguing the money was used to hide the affair from his wife, a very thin line a jury will apparently get to decide if it was crossed.
