Anthony Weiner will announce he's running for New York City mayor sometime this week, but he won't get the Clintons' official support or endorsement, Politico's Maggie Haberman reports.
Huma Abedin remained Hillary Clinton's deputy chief of staff when she came back from maternity leave in June 2012, even though she worked part-time from her home in New York and was allowed to start a side gig as a consultant.
In addition to admitting his run for mayor, Weiner admits he got caught up in the thrill of social media, which allows regular citizens to interact with politicians in a way that's never been possible before. It feels very democratic. But sometimes it also feels like you've seen a kind of desperation that you shouldn't have seen.
Disgraced ex-Congressman Anthony Weiner and his very supportive wife Huma Abedin get a splashy cover profile in this weekend's The New York Times Magazine that basically uses 8,300 words to say one brief thing: He's going to run for office again.
The New York Post has been generally keeping us up to date on how to feel about Anthony Weiner. Today's exclusive, on the family's $3.3 million Park Avenue apartment, leads to a few more questions than answers, though.
Serena Dai's interactive feature on Huma Abedin's alleged "connections" to the Muslim Brotherhood got commenters wondering about all the flimsy connections one can draw between unrelated people.
The spectacle of right-wingers like Michele Bachmann throwing around accusations that State Department deputy chief Huma Abedin is a secret agent of the Muslim Brotherhood has been remarkably information-free. So we decided to trace the most ardent supporter's case for radical Islamic infiltration of the U.S. government. The results are a tangled, convoluted mess.
Michele Bachmann was scolded by House Intelligence Committee chair Mile Rogers for her letter to the State Department suggesting the Muslim Brotherhood is stealthily influencing the department and implying that Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin might be an agent for the group.
U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann's McCarthy-like questions about a top State Department aide's "ties" to the Muslim Brotherhood have been largely dismissed by those in her party and the Brotherhood itself, but she's got some defenders, including Newt Gingrich and Slate columnist Dave Weigel.
As we noted today, even the Muslim Brotherhood finds Michele Bachmann's suggestion that Huma Abedin is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood preposterous. With tongue firmly planted in cheek, one commenter suspected the organization of covering up their Abedin connection.
In the latest chapter of Michele Bachmann's dabbling in Muslim McCarthyism and failed attempt at connecting Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton aide and Anthony Weiner's wife, to the Muslim Brotherhood has a funny twist: The Muslim Brotherhood is calling the claims ridiculous.
Huma Abedin's week got a bit scarier on Sunday when federal officials ordered extra security to her house after a New Jersey man threatened her.
Republican leaders have recently tried to back away slowly from the Tea Partying style that defined the party during its primary, and that has been complicated by Michele Bachmann's charge that Huma Abedin must be investigated for the "potential Muslim Brotherhood infiltration" of the Obama administration.
A recent feature in People magazine with Anthony Weiner, his wife Huma Abedin, and their baby Jordan had a lot of people wondering if this meant that Weiner was spurring up public goodwill for a comeback. Maybe it wasn't about him at all.
Speaker of the House John Boehner has become the latest high-profile Republican to denounce Michele Bachmann's "pretty dangerous" accusations that Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's deputy chief of staff and Anthony Weiner's wife, has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
John McCain gave a pretty forceful floor speech Wednesday morning in defense of Huma Abedin, Hillary Clinton's deputy chief of staff (and Anthony Weiner's wife), whom a few House Republicans have suggested is part of a Muslim Brotherhood infiltration of the American government.
Cynthia Nixon ties the knot, Anthony Weiner is looking for his next act, and Will Ferrell busts up his leg playing soccer.
Late on Wednesday, former New York Rep. Anthony Weiner and his wife Huma Abedin became parents, welcoming into the world what the New York Post called a "wee Democrat" but they're just calling Jordan Zane Weiner.
