john edwards walks back into a courthouse in greensburg, north carolina, today, argued with five argumentst should be dismissed. it's a return to hard reality. just four days after the joyful celebration of his daughter kate's marriage. prosecutors charge that edwards requested, accepted, and received unlawful contributions, in order to hide his involvement in an extramarital affair, and thereby preserve the viability of his campaign to be president. >> no other candidate has ever been charged criminally with any case that even approximates this. >> reporter: ken gross, a former head of enforcement for the federal election commission and previously a consultant for edwards' defense, argues the case goes beyond the law. >> none of that money was used for any campaign-related expense. no tv ads, no radio ads, to pay campaign workers or to otherwise advocate his election. >> reporter: the government says edwards broke the law by not reporting almost $1 million secretly provided by two supporters, which was used to hide his pregnant mistress, rielle hunter, in fancy homes and on private jets.
