from www.usatoday.com – Former Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards reportedly will be indicted today on criminal charges that he broke campaign finance laws to cover up his extramarital affair with Rielle Hunter.

ABC News, citing unnamed sources, says the indictment will be handed down in Raleigh today unless a plea deal is reached. A “person with knowledge of the investigation” says Edwards’ lawyer, Gregory Craig, planned to be in North Carolina today.

CNN says Edwards is “expected to be indicted…barring any last-minute developments.”

The case centers on whether money from two of Edwards’ supporters — Rachel “Bunny” Mellon and Fred Baron — to Hunter and ex-aide Andrew Young to help hide the affair amounted to illegal campaign contributions because the funds allowed Edwards to continue with his 2008 presidential bid.

Craig said in a statement last month that the federal government’s case against Edwards, the 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee, is “wrong on the facts and wrong on the law.”

Much of the case has centered on testimony from Young, who claimed in 2007 that he was the father of Hunter’s daughter in order to help his boss.

Edwards initially denied the affair but admitted the relationship with Hunter, a campaign videographer, in 2008. At the time, he denied he was the father of Hunter’s daughter, Frances Quinn. Edwards did not admit paternity until 2010, the day before Young’s memoir was released.
