The photo showed Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, hugging a woman who conspicuously does not have a ring on, above the headline “WEINER FREE! WEDDING BAND OFF…”

But the other woman in the photo was not Abedin, but Aung San Suu Kyi, a Burmese politician and diplomat.

The error was caught by NBC Nightly News senior news editor and writer Bradd Jaffy:

Hey, @DRUDGE_REPORT, that's not Huma — it's Aung San Suu Kyi pic.twitter.com/C1QYp7KvHv — Bradd Jaffy (@BraddJaffy) August 30, 2016

Shortly after the error was noticed by social media users, Drudge Report changed the photo to a shot of Clinton and Abedin walking together.

Abedin on Monday announced her plans to separate from husband, former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), after the New York Post revealed Weiner had become embroiled in another sexting scandal on Twitter.

The Hill has reached out to Drudge Report for comment.
