Justification for $14,000 payment to Edwards mistress

(NECN) - John Edwards political action committee allegedly paid his mistress 14-thousand dollars, to obtain 100 hours of unused video shot during his unsuccessful bid for the White House. That's the first attempt at justifying the April 2007 payment to Rielle Hunter, who by then wasn't working for Edwards. Last week, Edwards acknowledged the two had an affair back in 2006.
