Hillary Clinton’s former senior staffer Huma Abedin suggested Sunday during John Catsimatidis’ “Cats Roundtable” morning radio show that she may run for public office one day.
Although she admitted she is more comfortable working behind the scenes, Abedin left the door open for a potential run for office, saying no one knows what the future holds while commenting about potentially running for office.
Abedin, who was chief of staff during Hillary Clinton’s 2008 White House bid and served as vice chair of Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign, said that she’s in that phase of her life where she says, ‘never say never’.
The longtime Clinton staffer was married for a long time to Anthony Wiener, a convicted sex offender who previously served as a New York congressman but is now separated.
Adding that while being married to one of the most dynamic politicians and also working for another politician, she loved supporting them but noted she’s always been ambivalent about her being out in public herself.
Be that as it may, Abedin was definitely in the spotlight for a while after the FBI discovered sensitive emails from Abedin related to the Clinton email scandal on her husband’s laptop during the FBI’s 2016 investigation into Wiener following the allegations that he was sexting a 15-year-old girl.
Calling her ‘crooked’, Trump demanded that the Justice Department looks at potential security issues in Abedin’s handling of classified material, accusing her of disregarding basic security protocols and putting classified passwords into the hands of foreign agents.
FBI reopened the investigation into Clinton’s emails, but both Abedin and Clinton denied accusations of impropriety and were not charged in connection with the investigation. Clinton even attributed the FBI probe into her email server to her loss to Trump in 2016.
