“I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him”, Trump said in a statement, as The New York Times reported.

NEW YORK (AP) 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. Among the photos the two exchanged was one of Weiner’s crotch that also included his toddler son.
The latest revelations come in the midst of Ms Clinton’s duel with Donald Trump for the White House, and the Republican presidential candidate wasted no time seizing on the announcement to attack his rival.
The longtime Hillary Clinton aide issued the statement hours after the New York Post hit the streets with the headline: “Pop Goes The Weiner”, and featuring the photo evidence of her husband’s latest sexual slip. Who knows what he learned and who he told? “It is possible that our country and its security have been great compromised by this”. They have a 4-year-old son, Jordan. Weiner isn’t employed by the Clinton campaign, and there’s nothing to suggest he ever had any access to any “highly classified information”.
She appeared in a fascinating documentary, Weiner, in which she stood near her husband with arms crossed, looking really angry, for much of the time.
However, screenshots of the correspondence revealed that Weiner’s selfie with his son was only one of over a dozen explicit photos he had sent the woman, with “most show [ing] him posing shirtless to flaunt his well-toned physique”, the Post report said.
Frequently by Clinton’s side, Abedin was spotted outside fundraisers for the Democratic presidential nominee on Sunday in the Hamptons, on New York’s Long Island.
Weiner was forced to resign his seat in Congress in 2011 after a similar sexting scandal in which he admitted to exchanging sexually explicit pictures and messages with at least six women. After initially claiming his account was hacked, Weiner acknowledged inappropriate online communication with several women.

Weiner has since deleted his Twitter account, and his website AnthonyWeiner.com appears to be down as well. “For half a second I thought I posted something”. The potential first female POTUS vigorously supported Abedin when Weiner’s indiscretions were made public almost five years ago. Here’s a look at her history with the Clintons, her marriage to Anthony Weiner and her current role on the Clinton campaign. She began as an intern in the first lady’s office in the 1990s but swiftly became a top aide as Clinton began her own stint as a senator.
