![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
He's a liar! Former Presidential candidate John Edwards has admitted to lying about having an extramarital affair with a former staffer.
In an interview with ABC's "Nightline" that airs tonight, Edwards admits he had a sexual affair with 44-year-old Rielle Hunter, but claims he did not love her.
Edwards does say, however, that he knows he is not the baby daddy of Hunter's little girl based on the "timing" of the kid's birth in February of this year. He claims the tryst ended too soon for him to be the dad, although he has not taken a paternity test.
And the story gets better ...
Hunter met Edwards at a bar in 2006. After their meeting, his campaign paid her $114,000 to create campaign spots, even though she was fairly unqualified to do so. According to Edwards, he made sure to tell Hunter that his wife's cancer was in remission before they hooked up. How big of him.
The National Enquirer first broke the story of the alleged affair last October. At that time, Edwards hooted and hollered that the story was "false," adding "It's completely untrue, it's ridiculous." He even repeated that denial two weeks ago after the Enquirer updated their story reporting that Edwards and Hunter met up at a Bev Hills hotel. He admits in the interview the story was right.
And get this, Edwards says he never paid Hunter to keep her mouth shut, but admitted it was possible that some of his friends did without telling him.

first!!! OMG it's so nice to know that presidintial candidates are human after all...blah
damn tmz, I know you are trying to get stuff up quick, but would it kill you to run spellcheck?
unqualified ?
please;
what woman IS qualified to perform
anything except service the account........
So now we are supposed to believe him when he says he didn't father the "love child?"
So, now he is admitting "half truths"?! I guess some people don't know when to stop lying!
What? A politician admitting he lied? What next...dogs and cats procreating? Somebody check Hell because it has definitely frozen over.
we can still VOTE for him!

"I did not have sex with that woman" is now "I had sex with her but the baby isn't mine,"
Hmmmm.
LMAO actually the fact that a politician lied and had an affair as his wife suffered with cancer isnt surprising at all. The fact that TMZ ran a negative story on a Democrat, however, FLOORS ME.
Does this even really matter? All it shows is that he's human. Sure, the affair was wrong, but he IS human. It would be news-worthy if Bush had an affair. But someone as intelligent and decent-looking as John Edwards? That's NOT news LOL
I BELIEVE THE KID IS HIS AND HE'S LYING AGAIN.
POLITICIANS CAN'T HELP BUT LIE. ITS IN THERE DNA!
There is no such thing as reality tv:
I always thought Edwards seemed like a fake, but then again, what politician isn't? The real story is that the National Enquirer was right...wonder how right they may have been in the past now?
