The Justice Department has dropped its prosecution of former Sen. John Edwards over payments his backers made to support his mistress during the 2008 presidential campaign. "We knew that this case - like all campaign finance cases - would be challenging," DOJ Criminal Division chief Lanny Breuer said. "In the interest of justice, we have decided not to retry Mr. Edwards on those counts."
After a six-week trial, a federal jury in North Carolina last month deadlocked on five of the felony charges against Edwards and acquitted him on one felony count.
