Religious groups and lawmakers including Sen. John McCain are firing back at former Republican presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann after she accused the Islamist group Muslim Brotherhood of infiltrating the U.S. government. Bachmann, along with four other Republican members of Congress, sent letters to five different agencies demanding investigations into the “deep penetration in the halls of our United States government” by the Muslim Brotherhood, singling out Huma Abedin, an aide to Hillary Clinton and the wife of Anthony Weiner, of having family connections to the radical group.
The Arizona R I N O said he considers Abedin a “friend” and has gotten to know her during her decade of service to Clinton while she was in the Senate and at the State Department.
