Sam Stein at the HuffPo reports:

It turned out Hunter’s documentaries were a sham. Months after she met the Senator at that midtown hotel, the two needed an excuse to continue being around each other. The suggestion was made — by whom, it’s not known — to make documentaries of the Senator’s work for the One America Committee. Hunter would get paid and Edwards would have an excuse for keeping her around. Six months and $114,000 later, the deed was done.
