CHAPEL HILL – Former U.S. Senator John Edwards’ eldest daughter, Cate will speak out on Friday morning on the Today show about her reaction to her father’s affair and alleged cover-up that resulted in a federal investigation and lengthy trial.

Cate has recently been promoting the Elizabeth Edwards Foundation, created in memory of her mother who died of breast cancer in December 2010.

Since John’s trial in April and May of 2012, the media has been in search of Cate’s reaction to the extramarital affair and the trial. John’s mistress, Rielle Hunter, didn’t take long to explain her side of the story. She released a book titled “What Really Happened: John Edwards, Our Daughter, and Me” just a month after the trial in which Edwards was found not guilty on one of the six counts brought against him while mistrials were called on the other five.

Friday morning on the Today show, Cate will describe how she first felt when her father told her about his affair, how she reacted to the trial and Hunter’s book, and what she’s doing now for the Elizabeth Edwards Foundation.
