Washington Post: FBI interviewed top Clinton aide Huma Abedin after saying probe of her boss had concluded The interview is important because it shows that even after the bureau had intimated publicly that its probe into Hillary Clinton was over, the FBI knew it still had work to do with one of her close aides.

DOJ IG says McCade sat on Weiner laptop revelations for a month before notifying Congress

Fox News: Former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe knew of thousands of emails related to the Hillary Clinton private server investigation for at least a month before then-FBI Director James Comey informed Congress, The Wall Street Journal reported late Wednesday.

Washington Post: Benghazi problem not going away for Hillary Clinton Huma Abedin, longtime Clinton confidante, will meet Friday with House investigators behind closed doors. Clinton will testify publicly one week from today. The issues she will be asked to address will probably revolve around the handling of classified materials by Hillary Clinton and her staff in an effort to get to why the material got into emails that were stored on an unsecured server.  That Democrats are not concerned about this question tells you how clueless some of them are on the handling of classified documents and national security.

The dinner was attended by the chief executive of the private consulting firm Teneo, which has close ties to the Clintons and employed Abedin as an adviser. Seated around the tables were donors to Hillary Clinton’s campaigns as well as to the Clinton Foundation, where Abedin was a contractor preparing for Clinton’s eventual transition to the charity.
