Former senator John Edwards may have allegedly spent more than $1 million to hide his affair, but no cash can help him hide his mugshot—CNN obtained the photos through a Freedom of Information Act request.

A plea bargain deal with the Justice Department fell apart over Edwards' refusal to serve jail time. (More John Edwards stories.)
