Download The Politician: An Insider's Account of John Edwards's Pursuit of the Presidency and the Scandal that Brought Him Down AudioBook Free
Andrew Young volunteered for the Edwards plan for U.S. Senate in 1998 and soon became the Democratic applicant’s right-hand man & most trusted good friend. As Edwards became a national superstar, Young’s tasks grew to include some questionable assignments that culminated with being asked to conceal the Senator’s ongoing adultery. Then, days and nights before his run in the 2008 presidential primaries started, Edwards was confronted with a publicity headache: Rielle Hunter, the plan videographer with whom he’d been having an affair, was pregnant. Edwards insisted that Young say paternity—but America would eventually learn the fact…
Young presumed that Edwards is actually a great chief executive, and was reassured throughout the cover-up that one day Edwards would come clean to his cancer-stricken better half, Elizabeth—and the rest of the country—and take responsibility for his actions. Instead, Young viewed as his own job and family life dropped aside. With this memoir, he finally gets the chance to talk about his account of what really took place—and exceed the headlines to show who John Edwards is really.
