RALEIGH, N.C., June 1 (UPI) -- A grand jury investigation into former U.S. Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C. has been postponed while he discusses a plea deal, CNN reported Wednesday.
Citing sources it said were familiar with the inquiry, CNN said the grand jury had been scheduled to convene in North Carolina this week. Instead, Edwards' legal team is evaluating whether to have him plead guilty to a felony charge, as federal prosecutors want him to.
