Newly discovered emails that FBI Director James Comey told lawmakers Friday could be pertinent to the now-closed investigation into Clinton's private email server were sent or received by Abedin, according to a law enforcement official.The new emails are part of an investigation into former congressman Anthony Weiner, according to top law enforcement sources. Abedin announced her separation from Weiner this summer.Abedin hasn't only made the news for her work with Clinton. Abedin married Weiner, the former New York Democratic congressman, in 2010. Former President Bill Clinton officiated their wedding. At the time, the power couple was notable for Weiner's rising career and their Muslim-Jewish relationship. But in 2011, Weiner admitted to sending sexually explicit messages and pictures to women online, a scandal that effectively ended his political career. One picture accidentally appeared on his Twitter account.Abedin stayed with him through that scandal, and the couple had a son, Jordan Zain Weiner, later that year.During a failed run for New York City mayor in 2013, more explicit messages he sent came to light, originating from the time after his original scandal.Huma Abedin has largely remained in the background during her decades-long work for Hillary Clinton as her right-hand woman at the White House, Senate, State Department and private life.But Abedin is in the spotlight in the final days of Clinton's campaign.The FBI and the New York Police Department have opened preliminary investigations of allegations that Weiner exchanged sexually explicit text messages with a purportedly underage girl.Abedin, 41, is one of Clinton's longest-serving aides. She was Clinton's deputy chief of staff at the State Department and is currently the vice chairwoman of Clinton's presidential campaign.Freedom of Information Act requests from a conservative organization have made many of Clinton's staff's emails sent during her State Department tenure public, and Abedin was involved in many of the exchanges that have drawn scrutiny.In one exchange when Clinton was secretary of state, then-Clinton Foundation executive Doug Band asked Abedin to facilitate a meeting between Clinton and the crown prince of Bahrain. In another, Band and Abedin emailed about job opportunities at the State Department for a person whose name was redacted.Abedin talks with a guest during an Iftar dinner at the White House August 10, 2011.
