Judge orders John Edwards to answer questions about affair

[cali]

RALEIGH, North Carolina (Reuters) - Former Senator and presidential candidate John Edwards must testify before a judge about his relationship with his former mistress, Rielle Hunter, a North Carolina judge ruled on Friday.

The private testimony will come during a deposition set for June 20 as part of a civil suit brought by Hunter against Edwards' former aide, Andrew Young.

Hunter has sued Young and his wife Cheri to force the return of a videotape that allegedly shows Hunter and Edwards having sex. Young says he found the tape while packing boxes in a home near Chapel Hill, North Carolina where Hunter lived with the Youngs for a time.

A February 8 deposition of Edwards was halted when his lawyers told him not to answer numerous questions posed by Young's attorneys. Young's attorneys filed a motion March 2 asking Superior Court Judge Carl Fox to compel Edwards to answer.

1. Why doesn't he just go away?

I can't believe anybody gives a rats ass what he has to say or where he stuck his weenie.

Never did like that slicky boy.

2. Hunter's lawsuit against former aide Young is why Edwards required to testify.

Relevant to the case. This is the bed he made. And apparently also a video that allegedly didn't exist but Hunter is nevertheless suing to get back.
