Here is the Andrew Young 20/20 video of his Jan. 29, 2010 interview with ABC News’ Bob Woodruff. He discussed his new tell-all book, ‘The Politician’ which reveals details on the John Edwards’ affair with mistress Rielle Hunter during the 2008 Presidential campaign and the resulting cover-up and scandal. Story and video below, after the jump.

In the interview, conducted with both Young and his wife, Cheri Young, he talked about the affair the candidate had had with Rielle Hunter, (variously known as Lisa Jo Druck, Lisa Hunter, Lisa Jo Hunter, and Rielle Jaya James Druck); how it had begun and how the cover-up began once she became pregnant. Noting how much money was spent to conceal Rielle Hunter and her child, he said:

“I know of at least a million dollars. And there was much, much more,” said Andrew Young of the scheme that brought him to testify in front of a grand jury. “We were living in mansions, flying around in jets. … Money was no object.”

The Iowa caucuses were just two weeks away in December 2007, when Young falsely claimed he was the father of his boss’s love child.

“We knew we were going to have to leave town as soon as this hit the Enquirer,” Young recalled of the bombshell that broke in the supermarket tabloid the National Enquirer.
