Despite his lawyers calling the governments case crazy and radical according to ABC News, Edwards is moving forward and said he will be vindicated when the case comes to trial.

What's important now is that I now get my day in court, after all these years I finally get my day in court, Edwards said according to the Charlotte Observer. What I know with complete and absolute certainty is I did not violate any campaign laws.

The trial, Politico said, is set for January.
