A man who previously claimed he fathered the daughter of John Edwards’ mistress, now says in a book proposal that the former senator is the baby’s dad. According to a report in The New York Times Saturday, former Edwards aide Andrew Young says the once North Carolina senator and presidential hopeful pleaded with him to claim paternity of Rielle Hunter’s young daughter. The newspaper also reported that Edwards is considering he might admit his paternity publicly.

The report also claims that Sen. Edwards once told Hunter that they would wed after his wife Elizabeth, who has terminal cancer, dies.

oh and get this:

St. Martin’s Press has said Young signed a book deal with the publisher in June and it involved a strict confidentiality agreement. Earlier this year, Edwards admitted he had affair with Hunter — his former campaign videographer — that ended in 2006.
