Washington Examiner: Conservative opposition researchers drop report on top Clinton aide

Huma Abedin, a former aide to Hillary Clinton at the State Department and now the highest-paid member of her campaign staff, is the focus of a new 36-page report from a Republican group.

America Rising, a Republican super political action committee that has focused on digging up research about Clinton, released the Abedin report Thursday amid growing interest in Abedin’s State Department activities.

The report provided details about a controversial employment arrangement that allowed Abedin to collect paychecks from the State Department, the Clinton Foundation and a consulting firm called Teneo Strategies at the same time.

“America Rising is releasing this comprehensive report because it’s important to shed light on Huma Abedin’s ethical controversies, as so many of them directly involve Secretary Clinton,” Jeff Bechdel, spokesman for America Rising, told the Washington Examiner. “Given her influence on the campaign and their emerging interconnected scandals, it is increasingly clear that Abedin’s ethics are extremely relevant to understanding the ethics of Secretary Clinton.”
