A statement Donald Trump made nearly two months ago attracted fresh attention on Friday following a report that the FBI is investigating whether disgraced former Rep. Anthony Weiner, D-N.Y., gained access to classified information through his wife, Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton.

“Huma is making a very wise decision,” said Trump in a statement on Aug. 29, shortly after Abedin announcer her separation from Weiner. The failed mayoral candidate had been caught exchanging explicit messages with a 15-year-old girl.
