It looks like lying has made things worse for John Edwards!

The National Enquirer’s ‘Edwards team’ sure is working hard to uncover the ‘truth’.

Here’s some of the latest stuff they’ve scooped:

- The day prior to Edwards’ ‘tell all’ on ABC’s Nightline, Rielle Hunter and Edwards’ alleged baby were flown out of the US to St. Croix onboard a chartered Learjet. The private flight cost $50,000 and was paid for by Edwards’ pals.

- Reporters discovered Rielle and the baby stayed in a luxurious oceanfront home owned by controversial trial lawyer Lee Rohn, a close friend of John Edwards.

- When an Enquirer reporter approached Rohn on August 15th, the Edwards friend snapped a terse “No comment!” when questioned about Hunter. After the tabloid discovered Rielle’s hideaway with Rohn, she was moved to a motel on the island before returning to Santa Barbara on August 17th.

- Rielle’s Santa Barbara home is reportedly being paid for by Edwards’ former finance chairman Fred Baron.

- Contrary to what he told ABC, Edwards is not only aware of the hush money payoffs but orchestrated it with his team of former campaign advisors. The tab discovered that a team of six more lawyers have been involved in the coverup and are funneling payments to Hunter.

- Hunter’s own lawyer supposedly advised her to allow Edwards to take a paternity test but she refused out of misguided belief that Edwards will marry her after the death of his cancer-stricken wife Elizabeth.

- A friend of Rielle’s revealed that Edwards and Rielle slept together the first night they met!!

- The disgraced ex-senator is also supposedly still in constant communication with his mistress!

John Edwards wins the douchebag supremo award!
