Huma Abedin, a longtime top aide to Hillary Clinton and the estranged wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), writes in a new book that she was sexually assaulted by an unidentified U.S. senator in the mid-2000s.
Abedin writes in her forthcoming book, “Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds,” that she attended a dinner in Washington, D.C., with “a few senators and their aides” and then stopped at one of the lawmakers’ homes for a cup of coffee.
She said she was invited in after the two had stopped inside his building and was told by the senator to “make myself comfortable on the couch,” according to The Guardian, which obtained a copy of her book, set to be released on Nov. 2.
Abedin said the senator proceeded to make her a cup of coffee before he took a seat beside her on the couch and started kissing her.
“Then, in an instant, it all changed. He plopped down to my right, put his left arm around my shoulder, and kissed me, pushing his tongue into my mouth, pressing me back on the sofa,” Abedin writes.
She said she pushed him away and was “utterly shocked,” adding that all she wanted “was for the last 10 seconds to be erased.”
Abedin said the senator was surprised and apologized that he “misread” her “all this time.” She writes that she was deciding how to leave “without this ending badly.”
“Then I said something only the twentysomething version of me would have come up with — ‘I am so sorry’ — and walked out, trying to appear as nonchalant as possible,” she said.
The Clinton aide said she avoided the senator “for a few days” but ultimately crossed paths with him on Capitol Hill. She recalls nodding when he asked if they were still friends.
Abedin also writes that she “buried the incident,” adding that her memory of the alleged assault came back to mind during proceedings for Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court in 2018, which was mired by allegations of sexual assault.
She said her memory resurfaced when reading about Christine Blasey Ford “being accused of ‘conveniently’ remembering” her alleged assault.
Name names or it didn’t happen.
An unnamed Senator because he’s a Dem. A Rep would never get that close to her.
It makes a person wonder if it really happened or is it just wishful thinking?
Biden?......................
“french-kissing” is now “sexual assault”
It was a Democrat or we would have heard about it long ago.
The Senator is not picky on whom he assaults.
It was Hillary.
I'm struggling to ascertain suspects, either a blind man or A Democrat Senator.
She attended a dinner with some senators and aides there.
Odds are this unnamed senator is a Democrat. Political types in Washington tend not to socialize with the other party, so she was at a dinner with her fellow Democrats.
This Democrat senator shoved his tongue in her mouth.
Who exactly did the deed? I’m sure there will be speculation.
And in this me too era, why wouldn’t she identify the perpetrator? Even if he is a good Democrat, we are told these incidents transcend politics.
After munching on Hillary’s fetid fish taco for years Huma couldn’t be traumatized by anything.
“Biden?.......”
No couldn’t have been Biden,. She was over 13 years old.
This is hilarious coming from THE least credible people on earth!!
Why would anyone want to read about her and the perv.
I think it’s more wishful think on her part.
This story is so reminiscent of a previous seduction in the news... don’t remember which one
Then there’s the thought... who serves coffee before trying to seduce someone. Wine works much better!
and then she marries weiner LOL
#DoNotBelieveWomen
Color me skeptical especially since she gives no name or even party. A dose of sensationalism to increase book sales.
Or just a teaser to sell her book?
Is a firm kiss considered a “sexual assault”?
It sounds like he backed off and let her leave, and he didn’t force anything else on her. He didn’t physically restrain her.
How exactly do we define sexual assault?
If a kiss perceived by the woman as too deep or too firm is now considered sexual assault, many of us are criminals under such definitions.
