Who is John Edwards, Alex?

NEW YORK – Disgraced senator John Edwards today denied allegations he had any involvement with one of the high-class hookers working for alleged Manhattan Madam Anna Gristina after it was claimed he paid for sex while in New York during his presidential bid in 2007.
Edwards is the first high-profile name to come out of Gristina’s alleged black book of clients after he was identified today by the website that originally exposed the prostitution ring scandal.

Anna Gristina, 44, from Monroe County, was arrested on February 23 accused of running a million-dollar brothel empire for the last 15 years for wealthy and powerful clients – who are said to be panicking they may be outed ever since.
The former senator’s attorney released a statement on behalf of his client today saying: ‘Mr Edwards categorically denies that he was involved with any prostitute or any such service. These allegations are false and defamatory and will put those who publish or report them on notice that they are acting with actual malice by reporting or repeating them.’
He is in the process of demanding a complete retraction from DNAInfo, who first reported the accusations.
Sources claimed to the website that the former senator spent one night with the call girl while he was in New York raising money for his campaign, before his shameful and public fall from grace after his affair with videographer Rielle Hunter was exposed.
It is the latest in a long line of scandals to hit the 58-year-old since his extra-marital affair and subsequent love child were discovered.
When the National Enquirer broke the story about the affair, Edwards released a similar denial calling the claims ‘false, completely untrue and ridiculous’.  (read more)
