John Edwards once had his eyes on the White House; he may end up in prison instead. A federal grand jury is set to indict former presidential contender John Edwards for violating campaign-finance laws in paying his mistress, Rielle Hunter, the National Enquirer reports. The tabloid, which is up for a Pulitzer Prize for its dogged reporting on Edwards, says that Elizabeth Edwards “could help send [her estranged husband] to jail.” The grand jury has been meeting since April 2009. A source told the Enquirer, "John is terrified that he's going to be indicted.”
