Fox News reports they interviewed the security guard at the Beverly Hills hotel, who intervened between John Edwards and two tabloid reporters. The reporters caught Edwards visiting Rielle Hunter and his love child. The report says:

The Beverly Hilton Hotel guard said he encountered a shaken and ashen-faced Edwards — whom he did not immediately recognize — in a hotel men’s room early Tuesday morning in a literal tug-of-war with reporters on the other side of the door.

"What are they saying about me?" the guard said Edwards asked.

"His face just went totally white," the guard said, when Edwards was told the reporters were shouting out questions about Edwards and Rielle Hunter, a woman the National Enquirer says is the mother of his child.

The guard said he escorted Edwards, who was not a registered guest at the hotel, out of the building after 2 a.m. Edwards did not say anything while he was escorted out, said the guard, adding that at times the reporters on the scene were "rough on him," sticking a camera in his face and shouting questions.

The guard did not recognize Edwards at the time of the incident, but said he concluded it was the 2008 presidential hopeful after hearing reports about the incident and finding an Enquirer reporter’s notebook at the scene.

The guard said during the chase the reporters had dropped the notebook, which he picked up. "This book has everything in it on him," he said, referring to Edwards. The guard later confirmed Edwards’ identity after being shown a photograph.

A former campaign staffer, speaking on condition of anonymity, told FOXNews.com he wishes he were "more surprised" to hear reports Edwards was visiting Hunter. "I’m definitely upset by it. I wish I was more surprised, though."

Edwards this week has repeatedly refused to comment on the Enquirer report. Asked about it on Thursday at an event in New Orleans, he said: "I have no idea what you’re asking about. I’ve responded, consistently, to these tabloid allegations by saying I don’t respond to these lies and you know that … and I stand by that."

Edwards spokesmen did not respond to repeated calls by FOXNews.com to respond to this story.

As recently as last month, individuals vetting vice presidential candidates for Barack Obama had listed Edwards as a potential running mate. Edwards was viewed as a candidate who could help Obama appeal to white, working-class voters who had favored Hillary Clinton in the primaries.

Edwards appeals to working class voters? Is it even possible that Obama would still be considering Edwards for the VP job?

In December of 2007 we first told you about a story that John Edwards knocked up his mistress Rielle Hunter, while his wife battles cancer. Now the National Enquirer caught Edwards at a Beverly Hills hotel secretly meeting with his mistress and their alleged love child. The National Enquirer reports:

NATIONAL ENQUIRER reporters Alan Butterfield and Alexander Hitchen filed a criminal complaint with the Beverly Hills Police Department on Thursday, July 24, charging that hotel security acted unlawfully while the reporters were trying to question the former senator.

Edwards now could be contacted by police to give an eyewitness account of what occurred.

Hotel security tried to stop the reporters from questioning Edwards in the basement of the hotel at approximately 2:40 a.m. Tuesday, July 22 after Edwards came off an elevator and appeared to be attempting to leave the hotel unseen.

His secret mistress Rielle Hunter and her baby were upstairs, and Edwards had just spent hours with them in a secret rendezvous.

As Butterfield and Hitchen tried to question Edwards, he ran down a hallway and ducked into a men’s public bathroom. The reporters attempted to follow him in and Edwards pushed the door shut from inside.

Hotel security showed up and intervened. The reporters charge that not only did one security guard threaten to break their camera but that security also violated several statutes of the California Penal Code, including false imprisonment and preventing a guest from entering land.

The ENQUIRER reporters were registered guests at the hotel, while Edwards was not.

Police recorded the criminal complaint and will turn it over to detectives.

How did the reporters know Edwards was going to be at the hotel so far in advance they had time to check in as guests in the hotel? Someone tipped them off. Edwards has a lot of explaining to do. He cheats on his wife, knocks up his mistress, all while his wife is dying, and still expected to be elected President of the United States of America.

John Edwards is embroiled in a love child scandal with a former employee for his campaign, the National Enquirer reported today. John Edwards allegedly got Rielle Hunter pregnant while his wife Elizabeth Edwards is dying from cancer. Click the link below to read the whole incredibly shocking story.

John Edwards appeared at a John Mellencamp concert at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, Iowa, after being introduced by Mellencamp. The crowd applauded then started booing Edwards as he walked onstage, and tried to speak. Applause was loudest when Edwards left the stage. Poor pretty boy Edwards will probably get himself a massage, a manicure, and a new hair-do to cheer himself up.
