Longtime Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin describes sexual assault by US senator [View all]
Huma Abedin, a longtime close aide to Hillary Clinton, has written in a new book that she was sexually assaulted by a US senator, an incident she buried until allegations against the supreme court justice Brett Kavanaugh triggered her memory years later.
Abedin makes the shocking claim in a memoir, Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds, which will be published next week. The Guardian obtained a copy. Abedin does not name the senator or his party or give any other clues as to his identity.
Abedin details her alleged assault while describing her work for Clinton when the former first lady and future secretary of state and presidential candidate was a US senator from New York, between 2001 and 2009.
The passage comes shortly after a description of how Abedin and the Clintons came to attend Donald Trumps wedding to his third wife, Melania Knauss, in Palm Beach, Florida, in January 2005.
