“During this hard time, I ask for respect for our privacy”, Abedin said in a statement released today. In one scene, shot while Weiner’s campaign was imploding amid reports of new illicit photos he’d sent to other women, Abedin told a videographer that it was like “living a nightmare”.

“I don’t believe that I did anything here that violates any law or that violates my oath to my constituents”, Weiner says.
Some argue that reporting on Abedin’s marital troubles is justified because a number of media outlets recently reported on a past domestic-violence charge against Breitbart News head Steve Bannon, who is now a top advisor to the Trump campaign, and therefore Clinton and her staff are fair game.
“At the same time, knowing Wiener, I think Huma did a very, very smart thing when she finally chose to leave him”.
“I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information”, Mr. Trump said in a statement.
The Post did not identify the woman but described her as a “self-avowed supporter of Donald Trump and the National Rifle Association who’s used Twitter to bash both US President Barack Obama and Clinton”.
The statement went on to criticise Clinton for allowing Weiner close proximity to classified information, suggesting that this had compromised USA security. Trump said who knows what Weiner learned and who he told.
With roughly two months to Election Day, Ms. Abedin is Ms. Clinton’s near-constant travel companion and has long exerted great influence within Ms. Clinton’s inner circle a role in which she is expected to continue should Ms. Clinton win the White House.
She arranged for Huma to work part-time at the State Department while pulling down paychecks at the Clinton Foundation and at a company run by Doug Band, Bill Clinton’s favorite fixer. “She’s not a central figure in the campaign in the sense that her judgement and her choices in her personal life are gonna affect the country”.
“What I want to say is I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him, and as I have said from the beginning, we are moving forward”, Abedin said.
This image released by IFC Films shows Anthony Weiner in a scene from the documentary, “Weiner”. Abedin is wearing her ring as Clinton testifies to Congress about the 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks.
Not to mention, one source dished that a few months ago Miz Abedin began referring to Anthony as “Jordan’s dad” or “Jordan’s father” when discussing her estranged husband with her peers.
Abedin is vice-chairman of Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
Weiner did not immediately reply to an email seeking comment.
But in 2013 another scandal – in which it emerged he had been sexting under the pseudonym of Carlos Danger – derailed his bid to be elected New York City mayor.
Abedin subsequently announced on Monday afternoon that she was separating from the former Democratic congressman.

A spokesperson for NY1, the 24-hour NY news channel, said in a statement to CNNMoney that “Anthony Weiner is on indefinite leave from the station”.
