HILLSBOROUGH, N.C., Jan. 31 (UPI) -- The criminal contempt hearing of Andrew Young, a former campaign aide to 2004 U.S. Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards, was delayed Monday.
Judge Michael Morgan postponed a hearing scheduled for Monday in Hillsborough, N.C., so a new prosecutor could be assigned to the case, the Burlington (N.C.) Times News reported.
At issue is whether Young should be held in contempt of court for turning over to federal investigators sealed documents, and possibly a videotape allegedly presenting a sex act between Edwards and Reille Hunter, a videographer with whom the former North Carolina U.S. senator had a child.
Hunter sued Young in 2010, accusing him and his wife of taking her property, including the videotape. It was later revealed that federal prosecutors had received the tape and other documents believed to be under seal.
Young also wrote a tell-all book about the Edwards campaign in 2008.
