John Edwards, Democratic former U.S. Senator and Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate, is on trial for illegally arranging for $1 million in secret hush money for his mistress to keep quiet about their affair and their love child during his 2008 White House campaign – while his wife Elizabeth was battling the breast cancer that claimed her life [2] in 2010.

The NY Times is reporting [3] that if Edwards is convicted on all six felony charges [4], he could face up to 30 years in prison and $1.5 million in fines.

The mistress recently settled a legal battle over ownership of an explicit sex tape she made with Edwards during his 2008 campaign for president.
