cbsnews | On Saturday, he took aim at top aide Huma Abedin, who has been embroiled in the recent controversy over Clinton's use of a private email server during her tenure at the State Department,
and accused her of sharing classified information with her husband.
Abedin's husband, the former New York Congressman Anthony Weiner, also
suffered a few Trump insults.
"[Abedin's] receiving very, very important information and giving it
to Hillary. Who else is she giving it to? Her husband has serious
problems and on top of that, he now works for a public relations firm,"
Trump said Saturday in a press conference following an appearance at the
National Federation of Republican Assemblies (NFRA) convention in
Nashville.
Trump added that Abedin was "married to a guy who is
obviously psychologically disturbed," referencing the lewd photo scandal
that forced Weiner to resign from Congress in 2011. Trump had previously donated $2,000 to Weiner's 2010 congressional campaign, according to the Washington Post.
"So
how can she be married to this guy who's got these major problems?
She's getting her most important information, it could be, in the world.
Who knows what he's going to do with it? Forget about her," the
Republican contender continued. "What she did is a very dangerous thing
for this country, and probably it's a criminal act."
A recent investigation found
that while Abedin, a current Clinton campaign staffer, worked for the
former secretary at the State Department, she had forwarded at least one
email that contained potentially classified information.
Trump
went after Clinton herself, for comments likening some Republican views
on abortion to be expected "from some of the terrorist groups."
"I
thought what Hillary Clinton said about terrorists and Republicans
being terrorists was a disgraceful statement and she should take it
back," Trump said. "She insulted many, many great people."
