Former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY) is thinking about mounting another political comeback attempt – this time in the New York City Council, City & State New York reports.
“Even by New York standards, Weiner’s career has seen a remarkable amount of scandal. He’s been out of office since 2011, when he resigned amid a sexting scandal that involved several women including a minor.
He attempted a comeback run for mayor in 2013 which was derailed by yet another sexting scandal. In 2017, he was sentenced to 21 months in prison for sexting a minor.”“A federal search of Weiner’s laptop in connection to the sexting investigation unearthed emails that furthered a federal probe into then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton via Weiner’s ex-wife and Clinton aide Huma Abedin.”
