[NBC] Hillary Clinton's longtime aide Huma Abedin will separate from her husband, disgraced former New York congressman Anthony Weiner, following a report in the New York Post suggesting he had fallen back into his sexting habit.
"After long and painful consideration and work on my marriage, I have made the decision to separate from my husband," Abedin said in a statement. "Anthony and I remain devoted to doing what is best for our son, who is the light of our life. During this difficult time, I ask for respect for our privacy."
The report in The Post, which included conversations and photos that the paper said Weiner swapped with a 40-something Trump supporter while his wife Abedin was on the campaign trail, was published Sunday. And on Monday morning, Weiner's public Twitter profile was gone.
NBC News has not verified the reporting in The Post.
