Abedin has long been a quiet presence with Clinton -- on her Senate staff and later on the campaign trail as the former first lady ran for the Democratic nomination for president. She became more known to Americans after Bill Clinton presided at her wedding to former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), who resigned in 2011, after it was disclosed he sent sexually suggestive text messages to several women who connected with him on social networking sites. Abedin gave birth to the couple’s first child, a son, later that year.
