In other news, the National Enquirer — which has achieved a pretty high level of credibility on the John Edwards story — reports that the day before Edwards confessed his affair on ABC, Rielle Hunter, who according to the Enquirer has no job, no money, and no means of support, was flown on a private Learjet from California to the U.S. Virgin Islands:

The Enquirer tracked Rielle to St. Croix where our reporters discovered Rielle and the baby stayed in a luxurious oceanfront home owned by controversial trial lawyer Lee Rohn, another close friend of Edwards.

The Enquirer reports that a number of other lawyers are involved in the effort to support Hunter, but does not name them. Hunter, the Enquirer says, has since returned to California, where she is staying in a home arranged for her by Fred Baron, the trial lawyer and former Edwards campaign finance chairman.
