Huma Abedin's lawyers met with the Justice Department and FBI on Sunday to discuss the emails found on her sexting husband Anthony Weiner's laptop - two days after the FBI dramatically announced it had reopened the investigation into Hillary's handling of classified material.
Questions are mounting over right-hand woman Abedin's future on the Clinton campaign as she remains in New York today while her boss campaigns in Florida.
She has reportedly pleaded ignorance about how the emails ended up on her husband Weiner's laptop – and were subsequently found by FBI agents after DailyMail.com exposed him sexting a 15-year-old girl.
And the news that she has sent in the lawyers leaves the Clinton campaign facing disaster after FBI director James Comey announced their discovery had led him to reopen the investigation into Clinton with 11 days until the election.
The latest ABC News/Washington Post tracking poll taken after Comey's announcement shows Trump is just one point behind Clinton, with 45 percent support to her 46 percent.
Last week, Clinton was up 12 points, meaning that she lost a double-digit lead in a week's time. A third of the likely voters polled said they were less likely to cast a vote for Clinton because of this additional email probe.
Even worse for her situation, Abedin swore under oath that she had handed over all of her devices that could hold emails relevant to the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email server. If she’s found to have lied she could face up to five years in jail.
