Via The Hill:
Huma Abedin, the deputy chief of staff to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and the wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), has been placed under police protection after receiving a threat, according to a report in the New York Post.
The report, which cites unnamed law enforcement sources, says Abedin was threatened by a man after Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) last week claimed the State Department official had family ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and called for a probe.
The NYPD should send the bill for the protection to Ms. Bachmann.
