Former US presidential hopeful John Edwards has been formally charged over alleged campaign funding violations linked to the cover-up of an affair.

The indictment was issued by a grand jury in the state of North Carolina.

The allegations concern cash from two donors that he allegedly used to shelter campaign worker Rielle Hunter, with whom he fathered a child.

Mr Edwards, 57, a former senator from North Carolina, ran for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2008.

He split from his wife Elizabeth Edwards in January 2010 after admitting the affair.
