(CBS News) The latest addition to former Sen. John Edwards' legal team is a "pretty heavy hitter" with a long resume of high profile cases and bosses.
Greg Craig, who represented both Presidents Clinton and Obama, is the newest member of Edwards' team as the former presidential candidate hopes to avoid indictment for violating campaign finance laws.
In fact, CBS News has learned that while the hiring of Craig has just recently become public, he was actually brought on six weeks ago, reports CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford. He left his post as President Obama's counsel in January 2010.
News of Craig's addition comes as speculation grows that a federal grand jury is wrapping up its investigation into whether Edwards improperly used campaign funds to hide his mistress, Rielle Hunter.
