Weiner said he had undergone therapy after the first sexting scandal, according to media reports.

The New York Post is reporting the former congressman sexted racy photos to a woman past year; in one of the photos his son is sleeping next to him. She was her intern in the 1990s during the presidency of Mr Bill Clinton and became a top aide while Ms Hillary Clinton served as a senator from NY.
Donald Trump, who has called Weiner a “pervert weirdo” and “sicko” in the past, weighed in on the split and praised Abedin’s decision. Last week, the group Judicial Watch released several previously undisclosed exchanges turned over by Abedin that included a 2009 message to Abedin from Band – an official at the Clinton Foundation at the time – seeking a meeting with Hillary Clinton for the crown prince of Bahrain.
On the day Anthony Weiner’s wife, Huma Abedin, announced she was leaving him amid a revival of his sexting scandal, Showtime said it will debut the documentary “Weiner”, a painful, unrestricted look at their lives.
“I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him”, Trump said in a statement.
On the streets of D.C., people were shocked. Abedin worked on Clinton’s first, unsuccessful White House bid in 2008 and served as her deputy chief of staff at the US State Department. “God only knows how many sexting partners he really has”, she said. It’s just another example of Hillary Clinton’s bad judgment.
Abedin, who as vice chair of Clinton’s campaign is destined for big things if the Democrat is elected president, stayed with Weiner after a sexting scandal led him to resign from Congress in 2011 and after a new outbreak of online misbehavior wrecked his bid for NY mayor in 2013. She’s close enough to the Clintons that former President Bill Clinton officiated when Abedin and Weiner married in 2010.
Yet Abedin nearly never speaks publicly, meaning her work for Clinton is opaque to voters.
She recently told Vogue about how she juggled the demands of motherhood and a campaign job. “It is possible that our country and its security have been greatly compromised by this”, he said in the statement.
SOUTHAMPTON, N.Y. (AP) Longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin has won plaudits for her campaign instincts, her deep-rooted loyalty and her glamorous personal style. His first unsuccessful run for NY mayor was in 2005.
The photos were one of many sent between the woman and Weiner in months-long exchanges between the two.
Multiple news organizations have moved to sever or suspend their ties with Anthony Weiner on Monday after new reports that the former congressman was involved in another sexting scandal.

Weiner resigned his seat in Congress in 2011 after it became known that he was sending Internet messages with sexual content and photographs to different women, and in 2013 that same behavior ended his aspirations to become the mayor of New York City.
