Huma Abedin, who is one of Hillary Clinton's top aides, announced Monday that she and her former Representative husband are separating. Weiner has since deleted his Twitter account.
Donald Trump immediately jumped on the news, suggesting that the break-up is another example of Clinton's "bad judgement."

The separation comes following reports from the New York Postthat Weiner exchanged a series of sexually provocative texts with a 40-something Trump supporter from the West. The Postdescribes the anonymous woman as a “self-avowed supporter of Donald Trump and the National Rifle Association who’s used Twitter to bash both President Obama and Clinton.”
Among those texts, which reportedly began in January 2015 and continued through August 2016, were several references to Weiner's penis and a selfie showing a prominent bulge in his boxers while he lay next to the couple's son.
Abedin released a statement Monday saying that the separation comes "after long and painful consideration and work on my marriage."

Donald Trump didn't miss a beat, attempting to tie the couple's separation to Clinton's judgement.
"Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information," he said in a statement. "It is possible that our country and its security have been great compromised by this."
Trump donated to Weiner's congressional campaigns in both 2007 and 2010.

Weiner's woes go back several years. In 2011 he was forced to resign as a congressman after accidentally posting a sexually explicit photo of himself in his boxers to Twitter instead of sending it to a 21-year-old woman from Seattle. Abedin was expecting their first child at the time.
Then, two years later, when Weiner was running for New York mayor, sexts sent by someone known as Carlos Danger to a 23-year-old were published online. Danger turned out to be one Anthony Weiner and the controversy blew his chances of becoming mayor.
After the first scandal, Abedin spoke about her feelings when the news broke. "I felt like I was in an airplane really high in the air, and all of a sudden, the plane is coming apart at the seams, and I am just doing all I can to hang on for dear life," she said. "That is what it felt like."
Abedin has worked with Hillary Clinton for decades. She began as an intern in the first lady's office in the 1990s but swiftly became a top aide as Clinton began her own stint as a senator. She has worked on both of Clinton's presidential campaigns.
Clinton supported Abedin's previous decisions to stay with Weiner and work on the marriage during the first two scandals.
