document: Andrew Young interviewed again in Edwards case WASHINGTON Prosecutors investigating former Sen. John Edwards spent several hours Thursday re-interviewing the man who posed as the father of Edwards ' out-of-wedlock baby during the 2008 presidential campaign . Andrew Young met with the prosecutors in his attorney 's Washington office for more than four hours . The Associated Press spotted him leaving the building 's underground garage in a vehicle with a North Carolina license plate registered to his wife , Cheri , at their home in Chapel Hill . The interview is particularly notable because of its timing . Young has already been questioned by a grand jury investigating Edwards in 2009 , and the Justice Department is considering whether to move forward with an indictment . The prosecutors could be interested in taking a closer look at Young to see how he 'll hold up as a witness , since his credibility could be problematic . Young , who was an aide to Edwards ' 2008 presidential campaign , initially claimed he was the father of the child and traveled around the country helping keep Edwards ' mistress , Rielle Hunter , hidden . Young has since come out with a book detailing his role in covering up Edwards ' paternity of the baby . Young now says he made a mistake in judgment by lying . His book is being turned into a Hollywood film . Edwards acknowledged in January 2010 that he fathered the girl , Frances Quinn Hunter . Last year , a North Carolina judge said he was troubled by a series of seemingly conflicting statements that Young made under oath in a lawsuit over a purported sex tape depicting Edwards . Superior Court Judge Abraham Penn Jones considered sending Young to jail for contempt but backed away as Young 's attorneys argued that the discrepancies were memory lapses . Young has said he had the sex tape simply to corroborate his story . Young 's attorney , David Geneson , did not return a call for comment on the meeting , and the Justice Department declined to comment . The investigation centers on the money spent to keep Hunter and Young in hiding . Investigators are looking chiefly at whether money paid to Hunter and Young - from outside political groups and Edwards ' political donors - should have been considered campaign donations since the money arguably aided his presidential bid . Young would be the chief witness , since one donor who gave them money has died and the second is 100 years old . Haunted by other case The investigation is being jointly run by the Republican-appointed U.S. attorney in Raleigh and the public integrity section of Justice Department in Washington . The Justice Department has reason to be cautious in pursuing the case after the public integrity section 's last prosecution of a high-profile politician , the late Alaska Republican Sen. Ted Stevens , ended so badly . A judge overturned Stevens ' conviction and ordered a criminal investigation into the prosecutors ' conduct after the department admitted its lawyers did not turn over important , exculpatory evidence to the defense team . Associated Press writer Mike Baker in Raleigh contributed to this report .
