ANTHONY WEINER IN NEW SEXTING SCANDAL

-

1 ADIOS, ANTHONY

Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin said Monday she is leaving her husband, Anthony Weiner, after the former New York congressma­n was accused in a sexting scandal. Weiner, you may recall, quit Congress in 2011 after it discovered he was sending women sexually explicit messages. Then his bid to be mayor of New York in 2013 collapsed after it was reported he hadn’t stopped.

2 NEW PHOTOS

The New York Post published photos Sunday that it said Weiner, a Democrat, had sent last year to a woman. The tabloid identified her only as a “40-something divorcee” who lives “out West” and is a supporter of Donald Trump. The photos included several shots of Weiner bare-chested and two close-ups of his bulging underpants. In one, Weiner is lying on a bed with his toddler son while allegedly texting the woman.

3 ONE WITH SON

Abedin, who is vicechair of Clinton’s presidenti­al campaign, said in a statement that she came to the decision after “long and painful considerat­ion,” but added that she and Weiner “remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life.”

4 TRUMP WEIGHS IN

The marital split spilled into the presidenti­al campaign, with Trump seizing on it to accuse Clinton of “bad judgment.” He suggested Weiner might have seen and spread classified informatio­n, but offered no evidence to support the allegation.

A documentar­y offering a cringe-inducing inside view of Weiner’s mayoral campaign and its unravellin­g played in theatres earlier this year and is set to air on Showtime this fall.
