Huma Abedin is still torn between Hillary Clinton and her husband Anthony Weiner.
Since Weiner’s failed mayoral bid, Abedin has now refocused on advising the former Secretary of State as she mulls a possible 2016 presidential run. But a source tells us Hillary has issued an ultimatum to Abedin that the doting wife must dump Weiner if she wants a top role in her campaign and administration.
A source tells us, “Hillary is horrified by Weiner, and thinks that he is an embarrassment to his accomplished wife. She wants Huma to leave him behind. But Huma is torn between her family and loyalty to Hillary.”
But Hillary has conceded that if Huma stays with Weiner she will be “looked after” and helped into a comfy, but less high profile role.
A Clinton rep told us this was “totally false,” while another source told us that Huma’s colleagues have been “extremely supportive.”
Rumors have been rife that Huma and Weiner were ready to split after his disastrous bid. But she did appear at his campaign commiseration bash at Almond a week ago.
