Anthony Weiner Under Probe over Claims He Sexted with 15-Year-Old
-----------------------------------------------------------------

In more political news, New York authorities are investigating former
New York Congressmember Anthony Weiner over allegations he sent sexually
explicit text messages to an underaged girl. This comes a month after
Hillary Clinton's top aide Huma Abedin announced she was leaving Weiner,
after photos and reports surfaced of him again sending sexual text
messages. Weiner stepped down from Congress in 2011 after initially
lying to the public about explicit phone and internet contact with women
he met online.
