o ehical quagmires ha are now jeopardizing Secreary Clinon’s presidenial ambiions. However, much like Secreary Clinon’s ever-expanding email scandal, he conroversies surrounding Abedin are complex, murky and can be diﬃcul o explain. Tha is exacly wha Secreary Clinon, Abedin, and he Clinon campaign are couning on. Accordingly, America Rising PAC has compiled and is now or he ﬁrs ime releasing publicly:

“The Complee Huma Abedin Repor: A Deailed Hisory O The Figure A The Hear O Hillary Clinon’s Operaion.”

The research dossier documens Abedin’s rapid rise hrough he ranks o Clinon world, and examines in deail many o he conroversies ha have conribued o he darkening ehical cloud surrounding boh Abedin and Secreary Clinon, including:

•

Her role in he privae email scandal ha has roiled he Clinon campaign or more han six monhs and hreaens  o derail he once-ineviable candidacy. Abedin was one o only a handul o people o possess a “coveed” Clinonemail. com address, and sen, received or was copied on numerous work-relaed emails on Clinon’s privae server, including muliple emails conaining classiﬁed inormaion. In he ranche o emails released by he Sae Deparmen on Augus 31s, NBC News described he “mos damning” message as one sen rom Abedin o Clinon inorming her ha even he IT Deparmen a he Sae Deparmen was unaware o her privae email server, and he Sepember 30h release esablis hed ha Abedin had direc access o Clinon’s email accoun;

•

How Abedin’ s arrangemen resuled in her drawing a paycheck rom our separae Clinon-conn eced eniies a he same ime: he Sae Deparmen, T eneo, he Clinon Foundaion, and Hillary Clinon’s personal unds as her privae aide. Only he salary inormaion or he ﬁrs wo o hese our posiions is public inormaion, and records indicae hose eniies alone paid Abedin a leas $490,000 annually;

•

Abedin’ s role as a key member o he approv al process or Bill Clin on’ s public speaking schedule during H illary Clinon’ s enure a Sa e. In one especially conroversial example, ABC News discovered ha Abedin, along wih hen-Sa e Deparmen Chie o Saﬀ Cheryl Mills, was copied on an email rom he Clinon Foundaion seeking approval rom Sae o deliver a paid speech “relaed o wo o he mos repressive counries in he world -- Norh Korea and he Democraic Republic o he Congo.” The episode, which would have paid Presiden Clinon $650,000, illusra es he overlapping webs and poenial conﬂics o ineres wihin Clinon world, and Abedin’ s role a he middle o i all.

escribed by leading news oules as “Hillary’s shadow,” Huma Abedin has been a ubiquious presence in Hillary Clinon’s orbi or nearly wo decades. Abedin is Clinon’s longes-serving aide, daing back o he mid 1990s and her enure as Firs Lady. During Secreary Clinon’s ime a Sae, Abedin simulaneously held high-level posiions a he Sae Deparmen, he Clinon Foundaion, and Teneo, a privae consuling ﬁrm wih close Clinon ies.
