   Long after her request for dual employment as a private   
   consultant was approved by the State Department, Top Hillary   
   Clinton aide Huma Abedin failed to report financial   
   transactions, gifts, and future employment information as   
   required by law.   
      
   New federal documents published Friday by Judicial Watch show   
   that days after Abedin’s “special government employee” (SGE)   
   status was approved on June 3, 2012 — enabling her to work as a   
   consultant for the Clinton-linked firm Teneo while she served as   
   Secretary Clinton’s deputy chief of staff — State Department   
   workers continued to pester her for obligatory information left   
   blank on an official disclosure form.   
      
   “Her termination report is incomplete,” Sarah Taylor, head of   
   the State Department’s financial disclosure office, wrote to two   
   employees on June 5, 2012. “Schedule B, Part I and II were left   
   blank. Schedule C, Part II was left blank.” “I hope she provided   
   all of her spouse’s assets,” Taylor continued. “Marcella I   
   believe told him, either Huma or her husband called her   
   yesterday indicating there were more assets. The documents I   
   have do not have the income information, only the value   
   information. What was her date of termination? She needs to be   
   aware her termination report will be going up on a DOS website   
   for the public to view and it must be accurate.”   
      
   The missing information on Abedin’s termination form included   
   data on financial transactions, gifts, reimbursement, and   
   expenses pertaining to either her or her husband, former New   
   York congressman Anthony Weiner. Abedin also failed to report   
   key information on her future employment with Teneo. Though the   
   dual-employment arrangement was approved on June 3, documents   
   published late last month by Judicial Watch show that the State   
   Department was still seeking additional information on Weiner’s   
   finances on June 22, after Abedin had begun work at Teneo.   
      
   All e-mails to and from Abedin were from her Clinton Foundation   
   e-mail account. A previous State Department search for records   
   relevant to her Teneo employment came up empty, but the case was   
   reopened in July following developments in the investigation of   
   Clinton’s private e-mail server.   
      
   Controversy has swirled around Abedin’s dual-employment status,   
   with Senate Judiciary Committee chairman Chuck Grassley (R, IA)   
   leading an investigation into whether she functioned as an   
   intermediary between Clinton and Teneo’s clients. In April 2012   
   — two months before Abedin officially took the job but after she   
   had requested SGE status — Teneo’s president asked Abedin to   
   intercede with Secretary Clinton on behalf of a wealthy Teneo   
   client and Clinton Foundation donor seeking a position in the   
   Obama administration. The attempt was ultimately unsuccessful.   
      
   Abedin is the vice chairwoman on Clinton’s presidential   
   campaign, and still functions as her “body woman.” Clinton   
   claimed last month that she was “not directly involved” in   
   Abedin’s dual-employment status, but “everything that she did   
   was approved under the rules, as they existed, by the State   
   Department.” But documents published last month by Judicial   
   Watch show that Clinton’s name and title were on the March 2012   
   form that initiated Abedin’s SGE-approval process. The Clinton   
   campaign says that the form was actually signed by Cheryl Mills,   
   the then-Secretary of State’s chief of staff, but that signature   
   is redacted. The latest information regarding Abedin’s SGE   
   designation comes as she testifies before the House Select   
   Committee on Benghazi on Friday.
