Documents filed with the Federal Election Commission show the John Edwards
for President committee spent $480,000 so far in 2009 on travel expenses,
hotels, legal fees, consulting and campaign salaries. The committee has $3.7

“To wind down the campaign, to close the books and to answer questions anybody had,” Weisel said of fund uses.
