A White House deputy communications director is set to take the stand today in the trial of disgraced former presidential candidate John Edwards, Politico reports.
Jennifer Palmieri, now a communications staffer for President Obama, served as Edwards’ spokesperson in 2007 and reportedly witnessed an argument between Edwards’ campaign finance chairman and his now-deceased wife Elizabeth over help given to Rielle Hunter.
Politico notes that "Palmieri is one of five current Obama administration or campaign officials on the witness list."
