Report: Elizabeth Edwards Left Behind Video Testimony Against Her Husband

Elizabeth Edwards, who passed away from cancer in early December of last year, has left a damning video testimony highlighting what she knew about her husband John Edwards‘ extramarital affair with his former campaign worker, Rielle Hunter … this, at least, according to an exclusive by The National Enquirer, the publication that first broke the story of Edwards’ affair and subsequent child with Hunter.

Reports the Enquirer, quoting a “source close to the scandal”:

Elizabeth wanted to exact revenge against John for destroy­ing their 33-year marriage and family by cheating with Rielle.

It was Elizabeth’s idea to secret­ly record a video and tell what knew of the affair and John’s horrific betrayal.

The source added that Edwards then passed the video on to a friend, asking that it be sent to prosecutors in the case against her husband.

Last week, John Edwards pleaded not guilty following a federal grand jury’s indictment on charges he conspired to cover up his affair during his 2008 campaign by “secretly obtaining,” donors’ contributions and later misreporting these donations.
