Alex Soros, 38, the son of leftist billionaire George Soros, and Huma Abedin, 47, a former close aide to Hillary Clinton, are <a href="https://pagesix.com/2024/07/10/gossip/huma-abedin-and-billionaire-alex-soros-are-engaged/?_gl=1*vljma*_ga*MjA0MzMwNDMwNS4xNjkxNzcwMDE4*_ga_0DZ7LHF5PZ*MTcyMDYzNzU1Mi4zMTguMC4xNzIwNjM3NTUzLjU5LjAuMA..&amp;_ga=2.18343994.204626618.1720455250-2043304305.1691770018" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly engaged</a> to be married.
Abedin was formerly married to disgraced Democratic Congressman Anthony Weiner, with whom she has a son.
Soros now runs the Open Society Foundations (OSF), which gives billions of dollars to left-wing causes around the world. He is “the only family member on the investment committee overseeing Soros Fund Management, the firm that oversees money for the foundation and the family. Most of its $25 billion will be directed to OSF in the years ahead, according to a Soros spokesman,” The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/george-soros-heir-son-alexander-soros-e3c4ca13">reported</a> in June 2023.
George Soros said in 2004 that stopping the re-election of George W. Bush was the “central focus” of his life. In May 2023, Elon Musk tweeted, “Soros reminds me of Magneto,” prompting a left-wing critic to reply that Soros “gets attacked nonstop for his good intentions which some Americans think are bad merely because they disagree with this (sic) political affiliations.”
Musk fired back, “You assume they are good intentions. They are not. He wants to erode the very fabric of civilization. Soros hates humanity.”

Despite the fact that his father has been a major force in promoting left-wing causes around the world for decades, including backing radical left-wing prosecutors in the United States, Alex Soros, who received his PhD in history from the University of California, Berkeley, insisted, “I’m more political than my father.”
In reference to George Soros, the Heritage Foundation <a href="https://www.heritage.org/crime-and-justice/lecture/the-soros-rogue-prosecutor-movement-and-the-insurance-industry">reported</a> in January 2023, “To date, Soros has shelled out more than $40 million on direct campaign spending in the past 10 years to elect rogue prosecutors. Those prosecutors have jurisdiction over 72 million Americans, including 25 of America’s 50 most populous cities and counties.”
Abedin’s mother, Saleha Abedin, was a <a href="http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=2557" target="_blank" rel="noopener">founding member</a> of the Muslim Sisterhood, the women&#8217;s division of the Muslim Brotherhood. When she served as editor-in-chief of the Journal of the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs — where her daughter <a href="https://nypost.com/2016/08/21/huma-abedin-worked-at-a-radical-muslim-journal-for-10-years/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">worked</a> from 2002-2008 and rose to the position of assistant editor— she reportedly <a href="https://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individuals/saleha-mahmood-abedin/">blamed</a> America for the 9/11/2001 attacks in a 2002 issue, asserting that America&#8217;s “spiral of violence” was creating immense “anger and hostility” in the Muslim world, while “injustices” (such as economic sanctions) that the U.S. had imposed on Muslim countries were triggering a “time bomb” of Islamic rage. Huma Abedin was listed as assistant editor on the masthead of that 2002 issue.

Rumor has it that “American Sniper” actor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Bradley Cooper</a> is dating <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/anthony-weiner">Anthony Weiner</a>’s ex-wife <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/huma-abedin">Huma Abedin</a> all thanks to Anna Wintour, per a report by <a href="https://pagesix.com/2022/07/12/bradley-cooper-dating-huma-abedin-thanks-to-anna-wintour-sources/">Page Six</a>.
Multiple sources told the publication that Hillary Clinton’s top aide has been seeing the A-list actor for a few months now. They confirmed that the Vogue mogul made the introduction, which led to a romantic pairing.
“Anna definitely played matchmaker,” a source told Page Six. “She’s BFFs with Bradley and adores Huma.”
Another insider said the new couple was keeping a low profile for now. “Bradley has been quietly dating Huma for a few months now, [and] they’ve been keeping it really quiet,” they said. “Bradley broke up with [actress] Dianna Agron and started dating Huma.”
The source said Abedin has only shared the news with a few friends so far. That person said this match is ideal because of shared interests. 
“They are perfect for each other,” they told Page Six. “They’re both into power and politics and human affairs.”
Abedin would be moving on after going through a disastrous split from disgraced former congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY), who was sentenced in 2017 to 21 months in prison for engaging in a sexual conversation with a minor via text.
“I had my heart broken, dragged out, stomped on, humiliated. I lived with shame, in shame, for so long,” Abedin told <a href="https://www.thecut.com/article/huma-abedin-book-profile.html">The Cut</a>. “In hindsight, I was in extreme trauma.”
“On the one hand, you have this person who’s making your life so easy,” she continued. “On the other hand, you have this person who’s doing these deeply irresponsible things, and what felt to me like very, very selfish things, and taking us down.”
In an excerpt from her memoir &#8220;Both/And: A Life In Many Words,&#8221; Abedin described learning of her ex-husband&#8217;s exploits.
&#8220;He admitted he had intended to send the picture as a direct message with someone he had befriended over Twitter, but accidentally posted it publicly and deleted it (but not before someone had screen-grabbed it), that it had been a tawdry joke, a dare, it didn’t mean anything and he was ashamed and embarrassed and sorry that he had brought this upon us,&#8221; the former aide <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/huma-abedin-says-she-contemplated-suicide-after-husband-was-caught-in-sex-scandal">recalled</a>.
&#8220;I felt something explode inside my chest, and suddenly it was hard to breathe. I was simultaneously filled with rage and stunned to my core. It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck me and run straight through my body,” she continued.
Cooper, meanwhile, was married to actress Jennifer Esposito from 2006 until 2007. He shares a 5-year-old daughter, Lea, with his ex-fiance Irina Shayk, a Russian model, and actress who he dated from 2015 until 2019. 
The actor has been romantically linked with many Hollywood stars, from Renee Zellweger to Zoe Saldana. But, for the most part, Cooper stays under the radar and doesn’t make a public spectacle of his private life.

Huma Abedin, a former top aide to Hillary Clinton, says in a new book that she considered killing herself after husband Anthony Weiner was caught in a sexting scandal, which eventually landed him in jail.
&#8220;You write that, for a brief second, you contemplated walking off the subway platform?&#8221; Norah O&#8217;Donnell of CBS Evening News asked Abedin in an interview over the weekend, <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10150559/Huma-Abedin-contemplated-suicide-Anthony-Weiners-sexting-scandal-exploded.html">according</a> to the Daily Mail.
&#8220;Well, one of the best things I&#8217;ve had in my life is my faith, and the belief that there is always a way through,&#8221; the 45-year-old Abedin said.
She also revealed that Weiner was having sex in the apartment the couple shared. &#8220;I know it’s hard for you to say it, but you found that he was having physical relationships in your apartment?&#8221; O’Donnell asked.
&#8220;Yes,&#8221; Abedin said. &#8220;It was that moment that I realized the way I had been handling my response to him was not working.&#8221;
Hawking a new book, &#8220;Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds,&#8221; Abedin said last week that she was once sexually assaulted by a U.S. senator. She said the assault occurred in the mid-2000s while she was working as an aide to then-Sen. Hillary Clinton, <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/oct/26/huma-abedin-sexual-assault-us-senator-book-memoir">according</a> to The Guardian. Abedin does not identify the senator.
&#8220;Abedin — the estranged wife of serial pervert and ex-con former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner — said the assault happened after a dinner attended by &#8216;a few senators and their aides,’” <a href="https://nypost.com/2021/10/26/huma-abedin-claims-sex-assault-by-us-senator-in-new-book/">according</a> to the New York Post. &#8220;Clinton, for whom she served as a longtime right hand, was not there.&#8221;
“I ended up walking out with one of the senators, and soon we stopped in front of his building and he invited me in for coffee,” Abedin wrote, according to the Post. “Once inside, he told me to make myself comfortable on the couch.”
She wrote that the senator then took off his sport coat, rolled up his sleeves, and then made some coffee as they chatted. Then he “plopped down to my right, put his left arm around my shoulder, and kissed me, pushing his tongue into my mouth, pressing me back on the sofa,” she said, according to the Post.
“I was so utterly shocked, I pushed him away,” Abedin wrote. “All I wanted was for the last 10 seconds to be erased.”
The senator, Abedin said, apologized and told her he had “misread” the situation, then asked if she wanted to stay.
“Then I said something only the twentysomething version of me would have come up with — ‘I am so sorry’ — and walked out, trying to appear as nonchalant as possible,” Abedin wrote.
Abedin said she didn&#8217;t think of the incident again until allegations of attempted sexual assault emerged against then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in 2018.
In a Vogue <a href="https://www.vogue.com/article/huma-abedin-memoir-excerpt">excerpt</a> from the book, set to be released November 2, Abedin also recounted when the sex allegations came out about her husband.
&#8220;I still remember everything about where we were in that moment, the white shaggy rug, the wooden staircase, the front door ajar, the sofa to my left. Anthony opened his mouth to speak and, as though a dam wall burst, words came flooding out. He said that he couldn’t stand lying anymore. His body shook as he tried to choke back tears,&#8221; she wrote.
&#8220;Over the next few minutes, he admitted he had intended to send the picture as a direct message with someone he had befriended over Twitter, but accidentally posted it publicly and deleted it (but not before someone had screen-grabbed it), that it had been a tawdry joke, a dare, it didn’t mean anything and he was ashamed and embarrassed and sorry that he had brought this upon us. I felt something explode inside my chest, and suddenly it was hard to breathe. I was simultaneously filled with rage and stunned to my core. It felt like a bolt of lightning had struck me and run straight through my body,&#8221; she added.

Huma Abedin Says She Contemplated Suicide After Husband Was Caught In Sex Scandal

Huma Abedin, a former top aide to Hillary Clinton, claims in a new book that she was once sexually assaulted by a U.S. senator.

Clinton Testifies Before House Hearing On State Dep’t Budget

Huma Abedin Claims Sex Assault By U.S. Senator In New Book

The State Department has identified &#8220;multiple security incidents&#8221; involving the handling of Hillary Clinton&#8217;s emails by current and former staffers, the agency said in a <a href="https://www.grassley.senate.gov/sites/default/files/2019-06-05%20State%20to%20CEG%20%28Security%20Investigation%20Follow-Up%29.pdf">letter</a> Monday.
At least 15 people were involved and there were 23 &#8220;violations&#8221; and seven &#8220;infractions&#8221; issued as part of the department&#8217;s ongoing investigation.
The State Department has been investigating Clinton&#8217;s email from the time she was Secretary of State during the Barack Obama administration. She deleted some 30,000 emails and scrubbed hard drives after she left the post, and subsequent probes have found that she mishandled classified material.
No names of Clinton staffers were released. In a letter to Sen. Charles Grassley, the Republican chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, the department said it &#8220;does not release the names of current or former employees participating in the security incident program.&#8221;
&#8220;However, in the spirit of cooperation, the Department can share with you certain information about the status of the ongoing review. To this point, the Department has assessed culpability to 15 individuals, some of whom were culpable in multiple security incidents. DS has issued 23 violations and 7 infractions incidents under 12 FAM 550. This number will likely change as the review progresses.&#8221;
Mary Elizabeth Taylor, the State Department&#8217;s Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Legislative Affairs, also said the process has been time-consuming.
&#8220;Given the volume of emails provided to the Department from former Secretary Clinton&#8217;s private email server, the Department&#8217;s process has been necessarily more complicated and complex requiring a significant dedication of time and resources,&#8221; Taylor wrote.
The department said it expects to end its probe by September 1.
Clinton had her own private email server in her New York home, which was used by her and her top staff. She&#8217;s been found to have mishandled classified information, including in 2016, when then-FBI Director James Comey said that she had been &#8220;extremely careless&#8221; with such documents in emails.
&#8220;And in March, it was revealed that the Justice Department &#8216;negotiated&#8217; an agreement with Clinton&#8217;s legal team that ensured the FBI did not have access to emails on her private servers relating to the Clinton Foundation,&#8221; <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hillary-clinton-emails-state-department-violations-security-incidents">Fox News</a> reported. &#8220;Former FBI Agent Peter Strzok testified about the arrangement during a closed-door appearance before the House Judiciary Committee last summer, according to a transcript released this year.&#8221;
<blockquote>
&#8220;A significant filter team&#8221; was employed at the FBI, Strzok said, to &#8220;work through the various terms of the various consent agreements.&#8221; Limitations imposed on agents&#8217; searches included date ranges and names of domains and people, Strzok said, among other categories.
</blockquote>
Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton&#8217;s top aide and estranged wife of sex offender Anthony Weiner, also allegedly forwarded State Department emails &#8212; including the classified passwords for government systems &#8212; to her personal email account on Yahoo, a service provider that later saw every account hacked, according to a <a href="https://dailycaller.com/2018/01/01/abedin-forwarded-state-passwords-to-yahoo-before-it-was-hacked-by-foreign-agents/?utm_source=site-share">Daily Caller</a> report in January.
Explaining its current process, the department said: &#8220;In every instance in which the Department found an individual to be culpable of a valid security violation or three or more infractions, the Department forwarded the outcome to the Bureau of Diplomatic Security&#8217;s Office of Personnel Security and Suitability (DS/PSS), to be placed in the individuals&#8217; official security file. All valid security incidents are reviewed by DS and taken into account every time an individual&#8217;s eligibility for access to classified information is considered.
&#8220;This referral occurred whether or not the individual was currently employed with the Department of State and such security files are kept indefinitely. Consistent with the referral policy, for individuals who were still employed with the Department at the time of adjudication, the Department referred all valid security violations or multiple infractions to the Bureau of Human Resources.&#8221;
Those found in violation can be fired, or, depending on the circumstances, ordered into counseling, reprimanded or suspended, the department said.
President Trump weighed in on the new development, saying, &#8220;Wow!&#8221; and &#8220;This is really big.&#8221;
&#8220;Wow! The State Department said it has identified 30 Security Incidents involving current or former employees and their handling of Crooked Hillary Clinton&#8217;s Emails. @FoxNews This is really big. Never admitted before. Highly Classified Material. Will the Dems investigate this?&#8221; he wrote on Twitter.

HILLARY EMAILS: State Department Identifies 23 Violations, ‘Multiple Security Incidents’

James Comey

State Department

Disgraced former congressman &#8212; and convicted federal sex offender &#8212; Anthony Weiner, was released from prison this morning after serving 15 months for sexting a minor across state lines.
<a href="https://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-metro-anthony-weiner-prison-release-20190217-story.html?__twitter_impression=true&amp;__twitter_impression=true">The New York Daily News</a> reports that Weiner has left the minimum security facility he&#8217;s called home for the last year, the Federal Medical Center in Devins, Massachusetts, and is now &#8220;in a reentry center,&#8221; working to acclimate back to normal life on the outside.
It&#8217;s not immediately clear if Weiner is a free man, however. He is either in a halfway house, the outlet reports, or he is under house arrest. He is being closely monitored by the Federal Residential Reentry Management Agency, according to <a href="https://nypost.com/2019/02/17/anthony-weiner-released-from-prison-will-register-as-sex-offender/">the New York Post</a>. He will not be officially released from federal custody until mid-May, though he managed to &#8220;shave about three months off his sentence,&#8221; the Post says, due to his good behavior behind bars.
Additionally, the Post reports, Weiner will &#8220;spend three years on supervised release and will have to pay a $10,000 fine as well as register as a sex offender.&#8221;
Anthony Weiner has been in and out of trouble over his &#8220;sexting&#8221; problem since 2011, when he was first caught messaging a woman who was not his wife, photos of his private parts, using Twitter. After first claiming to be hacked, Weiner was forced to resign his office and begin a public &#8220;rehabilitation.&#8221;
A few short years later, Weiner made a second foray into the public eye, this time running for mayor of New York City. Like clockwork, though, Weiner was again revealed to have engaged in Twitter sexting, this time with a Democratic campaign worker in Ohio named Sydney Leathers. Weiner&#8217;s texts and direct messages revealed that he had not changed his ways since leaving Congress, and that he often used the bizarre and hilarious pseudonym, Carlos Danger, when communicating with women online.
In 2017, as his wife Huma Abedin was serving as a top advisor for Hillary Clinton&#8217;s presidential campaign, Weiner was busted yet again, this time for sending lewd photos to a woman in North Carolina, who turned out to be a 15 year old girl. &#8220;According to the feds, Weiner sent her &#8216;adult pornography&#8217; and repeatedly convinced her to strip naked and fondle herself while he watched via Skype and Snapchat in February and March 2016,&#8221; <a href="https://nypost.com/2017/09/25/anthony-weiner-gets-hard-time/">the New York Post reported</a> at the time.
Weiner&#8217;s laptop was seized and his communications investigated. Eventually, federal agents charged Weiner with transmitting lewd content to a minor across state lines.
Abedin filed for divorce as soon as Weiner was officially convicted.
After pleading guilty to the federal charge in the hopes of getting a reduced prison term, Weiner was hit with a <a href="https://nypost.com/2017/09/25/anthony-weiner-gets-hard-time/">sentence of 21 months in federal prison</a>. When he is released from federal custody, he will have served two-thirds of that term in a facility, and around one-third of that term at home, under federal supervision.

Disgraced former FBI Director James Comey used a private email account hundreds of times to conduct government business &#8212; &#8220;and at least seven of those messages were deemed so sensitive by the Justice Department that they declined to release them,&#8221; the <a href="https://nypost.com/2018/11/09/james-comey-discussed-sensitive-fbi-business-on-his-private-email/">New York Post</a> reports.
Like Hillary Clinton, whom Comey decided had broken no laws when she used her own homegrown server and email to send and receive classified information, Comey said he used the Gmail account only for &#8220;incidental&#8221; purposes.
But the Justice Department said that Comey and his chief of staff &#8220;discussed government business on about 1,200 pages of messages, 156 of which were obtained by The Post.&#8221;
<blockquote>
The Cause of Action Institute, a conservative watchdog group, filed a Freedom of Information lawsuit for Comey&#8217;s Gmail correspondence involving his work for the bureau. The Justice Department responded that there were an eye-popping 1,200 pages of messages for Comey and his chief of staff that met the criteria.
Justice released 156 of them but refused to hand over seven emails because they would &#8220;disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions.&#8221; And another 363 pages of emails were withheld because they discussed privileged agency communications or out of personal privacy concerns.
Cause of Action&#8217;s CEO slammed the former top G-man for minimizing the work he did using his private account. &#8220;Using private email to conduct official government business endangers transparency and accountability, and that is why we sued the Department of Justice,&#8221; said John Vecchione.
&#8220;We&#8217;re deeply concerned that the FBI withheld numerous emails citing FOIA&#8217;s law enforcement exemption. This runs counter to Comey&#8217;s statements that his use of email was incidental and never involved any sensitive matters.&#8221;
</blockquote>
In one email, Comey recognized the irony of the FBI investigating Clinton for questionable email practices while he used his own private account to do the same thing.
<blockquote>
Two days after complaining that his &#8220;mobile is not sending emails,&#8221; Comey asked an aide that the testimony he was to deliver to the Senate be sent on his private account &#8212; calling it an &#8220;embarrassing&#8221; situation.
&#8220;He [aide] will need to send to personal email I suppose,&#8221; Comey wrote. &#8220;Embarrassing for us.&#8221;
Lisa Rosenberg, executive director of Open the Government, a nonpartisan coalition that advocates for government transparency, said Comey&#8217;s practice of using personal email while investigating Clinton reeks of a double standard.
&#8220;It&#8217;s just so transparently hypocritical to have one standard for a person you are investigating and an entirely different standard for yourself when you are the one who&#8217;s enforcing the law,&#8221; Rosenberg said.
</blockquote>
In October, a government watchdog group released more than 1,600 documents showing classified information being transmitted through the secret &#8212; and unsecured &#8212; account of Huma Abedin, former Secretary of State Clinton&#8217;s deputy chief of staff.
Clinton set up her own private email server in her New York home, which she used throughout her time at the State Department. She often asked Abedin to forward her email that was classified, which the aide did.
Judicial Watch reports that &#8220;the documents included 97 email exchanges with Clinton not previously turned over to the State Department, bringing the known total to date to at least 627 emails that were not part of the 55,000 pages of emails that Clinton turned over.&#8221;
Also in October, the State Department received another 2,800 Clinton emails found on the laptop of Anthony Weiner, the estranged husband of Abedin.
The FBI turned over the documents after Judicial Watch sued the State Department for failing to respond to a Freedom of Information Act request.
&#8220;This is a disturbing development,&#8221; Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said in a press release Tuesday, which is pushing for the public release of the emails. &#8220;Our experience with Abedin&#8217;s emails suggest these Weiner laptop documents will include classified and other sensitive materials.&#8221;

REPORT: James Comey Discussed Sensitive FBI Business On His Private Email Account

Deputy FBI director Andrew McCabe&#8217;s sudden departure remains a mystery, but the clues seem to lead back to one man: Anthony Weiner.
<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/internal-justice-department-probe-eyes-mccabes-role-in-final-weeks-of-2016-election/2018/01/30/db2ea8f0-05c7-11e8-8777-2a059f168dd2_story.html?utm_term=.b23df6f0be29">According to a report in The Washington Post</a>, McCabe was the subject of an internal investigation attempting to find out why he stalled nearly three weeks before investigating a set of potentially classified emails found on a laptop shared by disgraced congressman Anthony Weiner, and his wife, Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin.
The inspector general Michael E. Horowitz, WaPo reports, has been asking witnesses &#8220;why FBI leadership seemed unwilling to move forward on the examination of emails found on the laptop,&#8221; choosing to wait until nearly the end of October to comb through for potentially damning evidence that then-candidate Clinton had mishandled classified information, sending it to Abedin to print, even if Abedin wasn&#8217;t cleared to see the messages.
Horowitz seems concerned that McCabe and others were attempting to stall the investigation until after the presidential election had concluded, ostensibly to help Clinton avoid any negative press.
The emails came to light in September 2016, when Weiner relinquished his laptop to federal investigators looking for evidence that Weiner had transmitted lewd photos of himself to a minor. Weiner eventually plead guilty to the charge, but not before investigators found thousands of Huma Abedin&#8217;s work emails copied onto the laptop, some of which appeared to be classified.
Just days before the presidential election, FBI director James Comey announced that the discovery of those emails necessitated reopening an investigation against Clinton &#8212; a move plenty of Democrats (and maybe Clinton herself) believe ultimately cost Clinton the presidency. Comey was eventually forgiven, after Donald Trump fired him and he became a spokesperson for the &#8220;Resistance,&#8221; but the emails remain at the center of an internal DOJ probe.
McCabe and the DOJ have remained mum on why McCabe resigned from the FBI just a few short months before he was due to retire, but <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/internal-justice-department-probe-eyes-mccabes-role-in-final-weeks-of-2016-election/2018/01/30/db2ea8f0-05c7-11e8-8777-2a059f168dd2_story.html?utm_term=.b23df6f0be29">sources told The Washington Post</a> that they discussed this internal investigation in the meeting where McCabe tendered his resignation.

Whacked By WEINER? McCabe Under Investigation For Stalling Probe Into Clinton Emails Found On Laptop

Andrew McCabe

Hillary Clinton&#8217;s top aide Huma Abedin and her skeevy perv husband Anthony Weiner have reportedly withdrawn their pending divorce case.
The New York Post reports that Abedin was set to appear Wednesday in a Manhattan court for a compliance conference with a judge concerning their divorce. &#8220;Instead one of her attorneys submitted paperwork signed by both parties agreeing to end the case, a court source told The Post.&#8221;
The judge said the case has been &#8220;discontinued.&#8221;
<blockquote>
Abedin finally filed for the split last May just hours after Weiner pleaded guilty to sexting with a minor. She had stood by the much-mocked former congressman since 2011, when, a year into their marriage, he tearfully admitted Tweeting out an underwear selfie.
The disgraced pol is serving nearly two years of hard time in a Massachusetts federal lockup. Lawyers for both sides did not immediately return requests for comment.
</blockquote>
But that may not mean the two are back together (well, after Weiner gets out of jail). The court source said the filing means that either the estranged couple will stay married or negotiate their split privately.
Abedin filed for divorce on May 19, 2016, the same day Weiner pleaded guilty to sexting with a minor. Abedin brought an anonymous versus anonymous action in Manhattan Supreme Court, according to The Post.
Weiner&#8217;s fall from grace was spectacular. In 2011, he sent out an explicit photo of Weiner Jr. on Twitter &#8212; he meant to send a direct message but instead posted it on his page for the world to see. He quickly deleted it, then claimed to have been hacked, but he was forced to resign after admitting that he had carried on sexual online relationships with half a dozen women.
Weiner ran for mayor of New York City in 2013, but was once again caught texting women his tiny Weiner, this time under the online moniker &#8220;Carlos Danger.&#8221; And just as Hillary was battling Donald Trump in what was then a tight race, thousands of messages on Weiner&#8217;s laptop prompted then-FBI Director James Comey to announce an investigation into Clinton&#8217;s email practices &#8212; which Clinton and others claim cost her the election.
Abedin, meanwhile, remains snared in a burgeoning Congressional investigation over the Clinton email scandal. New reports say she backed up copies of her emails with Clinton onto her husband&#8217;s laptop, contrary to what she told the FBI and other officials investigating the email scandal.
But Abedin told the FBI that she &#8220;lost most of her old emails as a result of the transition&#8221; from the State Department.
&#8220;She had only accessed clintonemail.com through a web portal and did not have a method for archiving her old emails prior to the transition,&#8221; according to notes taken during an FBI interview with Abedin on April 5, 2016.
Abedin compounded that statement in June 2016 by telling lawyers from a watchdog group under oath that she didn&#8217;t back up emails.
&#8220;With respect to those State Department work-related emails on the Clintonemail.com accounts, what did you do, if anything, to preserve those emails?&#8221; asked an attorney with Judicial Watch, according to a transcript of the deposition.
Abedin said she &#8220;did not do anything to preserve those emails.&#8221;
Actor James Woods offered up a good theory about why the two might not get divorced.

Huma Abedin, Pervert Husband Anthony Weiner Call Off Divorce

Huma Abedin backed up copies of her emails with Hillary Clinton onto her husband&#8217;s laptop, contrary to what she told the FBI and other officials investigating the email scandal, according to a new report.
Abedin, Clinton&#8217;s top aide, backed up many of her work-related emails to Anthony Weiner&#8217;s laptop after Clinton left the State Department in early 2013, the <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5233467/Huma-Abedin-backed-emails-Anthony-Weiners-laptop.html">Daily Mail</a> writes after a examination of her emails.
But Abedin told the FBI that she &#8220;lost most of her old emails as a result of the transition&#8221; from the State Department.
&#8220;She had only accessed clintonemail.com through a web portal and did not have a method for archiving her old emails prior to the transition,&#8221; according to notes taken during an FBI interview with Abedin on April 5, 2016.
Abedin compounded that statement in June 2016 by telling lawyers from a watchdog group under oath that she didn&#8217;t back up emails.
&#8220;With respect to those State Department work-related emails on the Clintonemail.com accounts, what did you do, if anything, to preserve those emails?&#8221; asked an attorney with Judicial Watch, according to a transcript of the deposition.
Abedin said she &#8220;did not do anything to preserve those emails.&#8221;
&#8220;The instances where it was Clintonemail to Clintonemail, there were instances where the content of those emails had personal matters in there, and there may have also been State Department matters in there, too. It was a &#8211; a combination. But I did not &#8211; I did not preserve those e-mails,&#8221; Abedin said.
Clinton kept a secret email server in her New York home and used it to correspond with several top aides throughout her time as Secretary of State. Dozens of classified emails were found to have been forwarded through unsecured mail servers.
Last week, Judicial Watch revealed &#8220;that there are at least 18 classified emails in the 798 documents recently produced by the State Department from the FBI&#8217;s investigation into former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton&#8217;s elicit email system.&#8221;
Among those, 13 contained classified information, including discussions about Saudi Arabia, The Hague, Egypt, South Africa, Zimbabwe, the identity of a CIA official, Malawi, the war in Syria, Lebanon, Hamas, and the PLO, Judicial Watch reported.
The Daily Mail reported:
<blockquote>
The emails, released at the end of December, show that they had been put on Weiner&#8217;s laptop by a BlackBerry archiving program.
A tech expert told Dailymail.com that Abedin would have to have activated the backup program and may well have plugged her device into the laptop &#8211; raising further questions over her testimony to the FBI.
Abedin was Clinton&#8217;s deputy chief of staff at the State Department and remains her closest aide.
Like Clinton, she was cleared by then FBI director James Comey in the wake of the investigation into the former Secretary of State and her staff&#8217;s handling of classified material.
Last Thursday it was revealed that the Department of Justice is looking again at the Clinton email investigation, after President Donald Trump&#8217;s provocative tweet calling for &#8216;jail&#8217; for Abedin. It is also being examined by the FBI&#8217;s Inspector General.
</blockquote>
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton said last week that the FBI knew about the classified emails.
&#8220;These are classified records that [Former FBI Director] James Comey and his colleagues &#8230; knew were on the Weiner laptop, but didn&#8217;t take seriously enough to pursue criminal charges against Abedin or Clinton for allowing this egregious abuse of trust that the American people placed in them,&#8221; he said.
&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t just low-level classified materials that were found in the Clinton email server,&#8221; Fitton said. &#8220;But there were highly top secret documents of the most secure type and it would have resulted in a criminal prosecution, I guarantee you, if you were anyone else but the Democratic nominee for president.&#8221;
Meanwhile, Trump is calling for Abedin to go to prison.

Huma Abedin Backed Up Emails To Anthony Weiner’s Laptop — Said Under Oath That She Didn’t

Judicial Watch

Actor James Woods, one of the lone conservative voices left in Hollywood, has perfected what has become his most beloved role: master Twitter troll. This week he once again took to his favorite social media platform to succinctly demonstrate the left-wing bias of what used to be the nation&#8217;s most revered and reliable paper, The New York Times.
On Tuesday, Woods tweeted out a link to a Times article on President Trump slamming Huma Abedin, titled &#8220;<a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/02/us/politics/trump-clinton-aide-huma-abedin.html">Trump Accuses Former Clinton Aide of Failing to Follow Security Protocols</a>.&#8221; Woods points out that the article somehow fails to mention some key facts.
&#8220;Only the @nytimes could publish this story without mentioning that a) Abedin emailed a classified password, b) her husband is in prison, and c) she broke federal espionage laws,&#8221; wrote Woods.

The Times article focuses on a tweet posted by Trump on Tuesday calling out Abedin for dangerously &#8220;disregarding basic security protocols.&#8221;
&#8220;Crooked Hillary Clinton&#8217;s top aid, Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents.

While the Times article does mention that The Daily Caller reports that Abedin &#8220;forwarded some government passwords to her private Yahoo email account in 2009,&#8221; the paper sidesteps any discussion of the serious nature of her actions and neglects to provide any details about Abedin&#8217;s disgraced, imprisoned husband. Here is the only mention of her serial sex offender spouse, whom the Times simply describes as her &#8220;estranged husband&#8221;:
<blockquote>
On Friday, the State Department released about 3,000 of Ms. Abedin&#8217;s work-related emails. The emails were found on the laptop of Ms. Abedin&#8217;s now estranged husband, Anthony D. Weiner, and were released as part of a public records request.
</blockquote>
The Times frames the fact that Abedin illegally had classified material on her sex offender husband&#8217;s laptop as simply a &#8220;sore spot&#8221; for Hillary Clinton because it likely hurt her in the election:
<blockquote>
The emails found on Mr. Weiner&#8217;s computer are a sore spot for Mrs. Clinton. James B. Comey, the former F.B.I. director, had notified Congress shortly before the 2016 election about the existence of newly discovered emails that could be relevant to the closed investigation into Mrs. Clinton&#8217;s use of a private email server while secretary of state.
Mrs. Clinton, in a book released last year, said Mr. Comey&#8217;s disclosure hurt her campaign&#8217;s momentum and helped Mr. Trump win the election.
</blockquote>
Instead of providing its readers with important context and information about Abedin&#8217;s actions, the Times seems more concerned with portraying Trump&#8217;s tweet in as bad a light as possible. Here is how the article begins:
<blockquote>
President Trump made his first &#8220;Crooked Hillary&#8221; Twitter post less than 48 hours into the new year on Tuesday, accusing a former Clinton aide of &#8220;disregarding basic security protocols,&#8221; and calling his own Justice Department a &#8220;deep state.&#8221;
Attacking Hillary Clinton, his former Democratic opponent from the 2016 presidential election, and taking aim at his own Justice Department struck familiar tones for the new year. Almost 14 months after the election, Mr. Trump has kept up a regular drumbeat of attacks on Mrs. Clinton. Last year, Mr. Trump also criticized the Justice Department and Attorney General Jeff Sessions for not pursuing investigations of his political opponents.
</blockquote>
Trump continued his public feud with the &#8220;Failing New York Times&#8221; this week. Famous for Twitter trolling himself, on Tuesday Trump offered the new publisher of the Times some <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/25288/trump-trolls-new-publisher-failing-new-york-times-james-barrett">helpful advice</a> about how to restore some of its lost credibility and avoid having to write another &#8220;apology to your readers for a job poorly done&#8221;:
