New Comey allegations do not let Huma Abedin off the hook

Published May 9, 2017 10:28pm ET



Though reports alleging that James Comey overstated the volume of emails Huma Abedin forwarded to her husband, Anthony Weiner, contributed to his firing on Tuesday, they should not overshadow concerns regarding Abedin’s conduct. I compared the information sources shared with ProPublica and The Washington Post to Comey’s testimony last week here.

But one point that is not called into question by either report — nor is it changed by Comey’s firing — is that Abedin did, in fact, give her husband access to emails later deemed to contain classified information.
