Ms Hillary Clinton’s closest aide, Ms Huma Abedin, said on Monday (Aug 29) that she meant to separate from her husband, Mr Anthony D Weiner, the former congressman and New York City mayoral candidate, after it was reported that Mr Weiner had exchanged suggestive images and messages with a woman while the couple’s young child was beside him.

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.
Weiner’s Twitter account has since disappeared.
Weiner, a Democratic congressman from NY, gains national attention for an impassioned speech on the House floor about health care for 9/11 emergency responders. The second scandal was revealed in 2013, which derailed his attempt to make a political comeback.
The Democrat quit Congress in 2011 following revelations that he was sending women sexually explicit messages.
Donald Trump issued a statement this afternoon about Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin’s decision to finally throw in the towel on her marriage to serial sexter/former congressman Anthony Weiner.
The recent episode is not the first time Weiner has been caught sexting women.
“After long painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband”, Abedin said in a statement Monday morning. “Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what’s best for our son, who is the light of our life”.
Ruben Diaz Sr., who is also a pentecostal minister, said he was repulsed by the shocking revelation that Weiner sexted a woman a lurid crotch shot of himself with his 4-year-old son in the picture. During this hard time, I ask for respect for our privacy’. “It is possible that our country and its security have been greatly compromised by this”. Her son is with her, the source close to Abedin confirmed. I want Huma and Tony to work out their problems, and I think they will.
During Bill Clinton’s impeachment in the late 1990s, I remember feeling all those emotions about the First Lady at one time or another – combined with a sense of sadness and disgust that our political discourse was consumed with something so sordid.
Abedin, 40, is a longtime aide and confidante to Clinton who is often referred to as the candidate’s second daughter. She’s close enough to the Clintons that former President Bill Clinton officiated when Abedin and Weiner married in 2010.
“You do realize you can see you [r] Weiner in that pic??” the woman wrote.
Weiner then apologized to voters with Abedin at his side.
The disgraced former USA congressman, Anthony Weiner, and his wife, Huma Abedin, are to separate. She said while her husband has made some “horrible mistakes, both before he resigned from Congress and after”, she was sticking with him.
Still, Abedin said, “I love him, I have forgiven him, I believe in him, and. we are moving forward”. Alas, the price probably won’t be as painful as what Abedin and the couple’s son will pay.

Ms Abedin said she was “furious and sickened” by the picture, which she claims not have known about until this weekend.
