Given her central role in Clintons campaign and her marriage to Weiner, whose political career was repeatedly felled by sexting scandals, that price almost seems like a bargain. Compared to celebrity book deals like Lena Dunhams ($3.5 million)or political book advances like Hillary Clintons postWhite House deal ($8 million),a couple million doesnt seem outrageous.Thats assuming Abedin plans to spill the dirt, of course. THR describes the work-in-progress as a reflection on how her personal and professional lives collided during the campaign. Her experience brings together two of the juiciest political stories of recent years ' Clintons failed presidential campaign and Weiners sexting scandals.Abedin separated from Weiner, with whom she has a young son, in August after news broke that he had sexted a woman while lying in bed with his son. The couple had previously remained together after two previous scandals, in 2011 and 2013, both surrounding his sexual exchanges on social media and via text. During an investigation into Weiners alleged sexting relationship with a 15-year-old girl, the FBIannounced that it had turned up emails that may have been relevant to Clintons handling of confidential information on Weiners and Abedins devices. The revelation ' which came just days before the 2016 presidential election 'kept allegations that Clinton mishandled national security information fresh in voters minds andsent shock waves through the campaign.Abedin has never spoken candidly in public about her husbands indiscretions, defaulting to an even-keeled silence that she has attributed to her desire to protect their son. Following the dramatic manner in which his digital offenses affected Clintons campaign, silence may seem like a less and less viable option.type=type=RelatedArticlesblockTitle=Related... + articlesList=58f4c2b4e4b0b9e9848d001f,58920807e4b02772c4ea79ae,58e65626e4b06a4cb30fe734 -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
