Teen in Weiner sexting case calls Comey her newest ‘abuser’ in scathing open letter.
The teen girl who was allegedly sent sexually oriented text messages by former NY Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner lashed out at the FBI on Wednesday and objected to being used as “political propaganda” in the 2016 election.
According to TheHill.com, the unnamed 15-year-old spoke to BuzzFeed.com against the wishes of investigators, but felt she could not keep quiet in the wake of recent events.
“The FBI asked for me to speak to the media as little as possible. I have tried to stay quiet, but Comey has upset me,” she said. “The last thing I wanted was to have this become political propaganda.”
The teen girl and her father told BuzzFeed that they had no warning that their case was about to be thrust into the national spotlight. She had just completed a draining, hours-long interview with FBI agents on Friday when her phone rang with a reporter calling for a response to Comey’s letter.
Her response was to write an open letter to the FBI director which was published in full by BuzzFeed News.
