Huma May Have Dropped Divorce To Keep Weiner Quiet Over Clinton Email Probe
- 6 years ago
On the heels of a massive investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails, Huma Abedin is possibly trying to ensure Anthony Weiner keep his mouth shut, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively.
Abedin filed for divorce in May after the two announced their separation nine months earlier while Clinton was still running for president. The filing took place after Weiner pleaded guilty to sexting with a 15-year-old girl.
On Wednesday, it was revealed Abedin withdrew the divorce.
Richard Roth, a New York attorney of The Roth Law firm told Radar by withdrawing their divorce they are able to assert the Spousal Testimony Privilege.
"This privilege prevents one spouse from being forced to testify against the other in a criminal case — meaning that the prosecutor cannot even put the spouse on the stand if they are still married and the spouse asserts that privilege," Attorney Roth said.
Donald Trump suggested Hillary Clinton's longtime aide be jailed after the State Department released classified emails from Abedin, which were found on the laptop of estranged husband, Weiner.
“Crooked Hillary Clinton’s top aid [sic], Huma Abedin, has been accused of disregarding basic security protocols. She put Classified Passwords into the hands of foreign agents,” the president wrote on Twitter. “Remember sailors [sic] pictures on submarine? Jail! Deep State Justice Dept must finally act? Also on Comey & others.”
