Summary: Hillary Clinton’s top adviser, Huma Abedin, announced her split from her husband after another sexting scandal has been discovered.
U.S. Rep. Anthony Weiner didn’t learn the first time about to keep private matters private. Weiner has been caught up again in a sexting scandal involving a Donald Trump supporter. His wife, Huma Abedin, is Hillary Clinton’s closest aide.
Abedin announced that the two are separating because he sent sexually suggestive photos through text, one picture of which included their 4-year-old son. She said, “After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband. Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life.” Close friends said Abedin did not learn of this latest round of sexting until this weekend.

The Trump supporter came forward to the New York Post saying that the two of them had been exchanging racy photos for about a year with one of the photos showing his son sleeping in bed next to him. The text was sent on July 31, 2015 and said, “Someone just climbed into my bed.” Weiner sent a picture of him with white boxers on and a visible bulge. The woman’s response “Your do realize you can see you Wiener in that pic??”
Abedin said they have been distant and “heading on a path apart” for some time but was hesitant to leave because of her son. Weiner spent the weekend with her and their son in the Hamptons this weekend. He left Monday morning. She consulted family and friends before making her decision because she did not want to be distraction to Hillary’s campaign.

NY1 and The New York Daily News have moved to cut ties with Weiner. NY1 announced, “Anthony Weiner is on indefinite leave from the station.” He was a frequent guest for their “Inside City Hall” program. The New York Daily News announced they will no longer run his columns.
Wiener resigned from Congress in 2011 after posting a lewd photo of himself to his Twitter account. It was then that her pregnancy became known. Two years later he was caught again sexting with a wannabe porn star named Sydney Leathers.
