Fred Baron, John Edwards’ campaign finance chairman and longtime confidante, told NBC News in telephone interviews, he has been providing financial assistance to both Andrew Young and Rielle Hunter.
Young is the married Edwards campaign staffer who has admitted to fathering Hunter’s child. Earlier today, Edwards admitted to also having an affair with Hunter.
Baron said he was personally upset with how the National Enquirer was harassing the two and helped them relocate out of North Carolina. He has continued to help them with their overhead.
Baron insisted Edwards never knew what Baron did for Young and Hunter; he believes Edwards didn’t even have an inkling that Baron was doing this.
