RALEIGH -- Wade Smith, one of John Edwards' attorneys, said Friday that he and his client have no plans to make a statement regarding Rielle Hunter's child.
Media reports circulating Friday quoted anonymous sources saying Edwards was planning to acknowledge that he is the father of Hunter's baby, Francis Quinn. Edwards has previously said he and Hunter had an affair.
"No statement is planned," Smith said. "We have no sort of schedule or time table."
Hunter appeared before a federal grand jury last week. Edwards, a former presidential candidate, is under investigation by a grand jury regarding whether he inappropriately spent campaign money to hush rumors of his affair with Hunter.
Edwards eventually withdrew his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for president.
