Even as he expressed sympathy for Huma Abedin over her separation from husband Anthony Weiner, Trump suggested she might have terror links due to her heritage
Washington: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has suggested that Huma Abedin may have ties to terrorism, even as he expressed sympathy for the top Hillary Clinton aide after she filed for separation from her husband.

"Huma is making a very wise decision," Trump said after Huma in a statement announced that she is separating from his husband Anthony Weiner, former New York congressman who had been involved in yet another sexting scandal.
"I know Anthony Weiner well, and she will be far better off without him," he said. "I only worry for the country in that Hillary Clinton was careless and negligent in allowing Weiner to have such close proximity to highly classified information. Who knows what he learned and who he told? It's just another example of Hillary Clinton's bad judgment," Trump alleged.
"I said a long time ago that she's married to a guy who is a disaster. I've known him for a long time. Here's a guy who, what he's done over the Internet is disgusting and he's a pervert and just a very sick guy and she is married to him," Trump said. During the interview, Trump went on to suggest that 40-year-old Huma, whose father is from India and mother from Pakistan, may have ties to terrorism. "Take a look at where she worked, by the way, and take a look at where her mother worked and works. You take a look at the whole event," he alleged.
"But in the case of Wiener, he's a sick person and she has access to classified information. Huma has access to classified information," he said.
