CIVIL rights icon Jesse Jackson took a shameful secret to his grave — he fathered a love child during a long-term extramarital affair!

In a bombshell world exclusive in 2001, The National ENQUIRER revealed the late Rev. Jackson’s mistress, Karin Stanford, gave birth to their daughter Ashley on May 18, 1999.

What’s more, Jackson took his mistress to the Oval Office to meet President Bill Clinton when she was four months pregnant — and the baby arrived while he was serving as spiritual advisor to Clinton during his Monica Lewinsky adultery scandal.
