Bio:
John Edwards (born Johnny Reid Edwards on June 10, 1953) is an American politician whose high-profile affair caused him to fall from grace. His political career began when he was elected as a U.S. Senator from North Carolina. Nominated as the Democratic nominee for Vice President in 2004, running alongside John Kerry, Edwards and Kerry lost the race for presidency.

He was tried in court for six felony charges, but was not found guilty on a single one. Not only was John’s affair scandalous because of his use of government funds to cover it up, but citizens nationwide were disgusted to find his now-deceased wife, Elizabeth Edwards, was fighting cancer while he carried on an affair with Rielle Hunter.
