Report: Anthony Weiner Laptop Had 2,800 Govt. Emails from Wife Huma Abedin

Judicial Watch (JW), a non-profit watchdog group that extracts information from the government by filing Freedom of Information Act lawsuits, has learned that former U.S. Congressman Anthony Weiner, recently sentenced to 21 months in prison after being convicted of transferring obscene material to a minor, had 2,800 government documents on his laptop that were sent directly to it by his wife, Hillary Clinton insider Huma Abedin.

In a statement, JW president Tom Fitton said, ���This is a disturbing development. Our experience with Abedin���s emails suggest these Weiner laptop documents will include classified and other sensitive materials. When will the Justice Department do a serious investigation of Hillary Clinton���s and Huma Abedin���s obvious violations of law?���

Judicial Watch���s lawsuit against the State Department was initiated back in May 2015. Prior to that, the group had requested ���All emails of official State Department business received or sent by former Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin from January 1, 2009 through February 1, 2013 using a non-���state.gov��� email address.��� After deeming the State Department non-responsive to that request, JW sued the government.

It is not clear at this time how many of the emails on Weiner���s computer may have already been reviewed by the FBI as part of that agency���s investigation into Hillary Clinton���s use of a private server in an official capacity. However, there is particular interest in laptop because of the suspicion that some of those emails may not have been previously given to the State Department by Mrs. Clinton.
