More Subpoenas Issued in Edwards Investigation

"A federal grand jury in Raleigh has issued a number of new subpoenas in its investigation of two-time Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards," WRAL-TV reports.

"The grand jury has been investigating for more than a year whether any money from the Edwards campaign was used illegally to hide his affair with Rielle Hunter."

Ben Smith: "It isn't totally clear what charges they'd pursue, but they're likely connected to disclosure. A lawyer points out to me that hush money, properly reported, would probably be legal."
