Palmieri said until John Edwards finally came clean about patenity,his wife believed his claims that he had not fathered Hunter's babyFrances Quinn. In August 2009, Edwards gave ABC News an interview, arrangedthrough Palmieri, and admitted to his affair with Hunter, butdenied fathering her child. Those close to the couple, however, had their suspicions thatEdwards was lying and Palmieri tried to help her friend Elizabethsee through her husband's lies. "[Elizabeth] did not believe John was the father but it was adifficult time for her and sometimes she expressed more doubt abouthim being truthful," Palmieri said. "Some days, she had clarity," and would come to realize Edwards hadfathered Hunter's baby, only to again give him the benefit of thedoubt. "I thought he was lying," Palmieri said. "I would respond I thoughthe was lying to [Elizabeth.]" Palmieri also witnessed another moment where Elizabeth appeared tobe deceived. Together they learned that John Edwards' friend and politicalsupporter Fred Baron and his wife Lisa Blue had been providing forHunter, despite assurances that Edwards had ended his affair with her. Elizabeth Edwards was unaware when she confronted Baron and hiswife in an Iowa hotel in October 2007 that not only had Edwards notended the affair with Hunter, but that his lover was pregnant, Elizabeth Edwards was yelling at Baron for his support of Hunter. "I believe John called me and asked me to come to (his) roombecause Elizabeth was very upset," Palmieri testified. Elizabeth was outraged because she learned Baron and Blue were intouch with Hunter, even paying for a shopping spree in Los Angeles. "All of this was news to Elizabeth," Palmieri said. "In her mindshe and John had spoken about" the affair and she thought it wasover. "She didn't understand why Fred and Lisa would be in contactwith Rielle," Palmieri said, adding that Elizabeth believed theirpatronage would make it look like Edwards was continuing hisaffair. "It makes John look more and more guilty," Palmieri recalledElizabeth saying. Baron and Blue explained their relationship withHunter as a means to keep her under control and from talking to themedia. "You have to keep your friends close and your enemies closer,"Palmieri recalled Blue telling Elizabeth, adding that Blue calledHunter a "loose cannon." As Elizabeth yelled, John remained quiet seeming "more a spectatorthan a participant." She added, referring to John Edwards'reticence, "I found it a little unnerving.".
