Clinton aide leaving former congressman husband amid a new sexting scandal
Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin said Monday that she is separating from her husband, Anthony Weiner, after the former congressman was accused in yet another sexting scandal.
"After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband," she said in a statement issued by Clinton's presidential campaign. "Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy."
The New York Post published photos late Sunday that it said Weiner had sent last year to a woman, whom it identified only as a "40-something divorcee" who lives "out West" and is a supporter of Donald Trump.
