He worked there for three years, and in 1988 he transferred to the office in Brooklyn, his home country, where his journey into politics began at the grassroots level.
Anthony Weiner, wife and son
In May 2009, Anthony Weiner signed on as political staffer Huma Abedin, a practicing Muslim of Indian and Pakistani descent. She featured prominently in Hillary Clinton’s bid for the US presidential election and was also a longtime personal aide to Hillary Clinton. Abedin, born July 28, 1976, served as the campaign’s vice president. Previously, he served as Hillary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff when she was secretary of state in the administration of Barack Obama. Her relationship with the Clintons dates back to the 2008 campaign for President of the United States, where she served as the traveling Chief of Staff and one of Hillary Clinton’s campaign aides for the Democratic nomination.
She eventually got married to Anthony Weiner and they got married in July 2010 and former US President Bill Clinton officiated at the wedding. The closeness between Abedin and the Clintons was underscored when Hilary said at the ceremony that if she had any other daughter (aside from Chelsea Clinton), it would be Huma Abedin. In December 2011, the couple gave birth to a son, Jordan Zain Weiner.
Jordan’s birth came just six months after he resigned from Congress, after the Congressional disaster, after the first sexting scandal prompted him to take over.
