The disgraced former congressman is a convicted sex offender who was involved in multiple sexting scandals. He announced his intention to resign from congress in 2011, but returned to politics in April 2013, running for New York City mayor. Abedin stayed with Weiner until the Daily Mail reported an FBI investigation involving a minor. His laptop was seized, and Abedin filed for divorce. He went on to plead guilty in 2017 to transferring obscene material to a minor, and he was sentenced to 21 months in federal prison. “I had my heart broken, dragged out, stomped on, humiliated. I lived with shame, in shame, for so long,” Abedin told The Cut. “In hindsight, I was in extreme trauma.” Weiner confirmed the divorce was finalized “on paper” in February 2022.
