“John Edwards was a top personal injury lawyer before he turned to politics two decades ago. But after two ‘wildly unsuccessful’ runs at president and an extramarital affair that made tabloid headlines for years, the former U.S. senator has quietly returned to law to resurrect his career,” WRAL reports.
“Edwards said his personal struggles – his affair and child with campaign aide Rielle Hunter ended his 2008 presidential run and led to the federal charges against him – help him empathize with families in crisis.”
