Hillary Clinton's closest aide Huma Abedin hasn't flown with the rest of the campaign for three days, after news broke on Friday that a computer owned by her estranged husband led the FBI to reopen their investigation into the Secretary of State's private email server.
"Today is day number three that she is not on the campaign plane," CNN's Brooke Baldwin said Monday, calling Abedin a "surrogate daughter."
The FBI announced last week that investigators discovered emails possibly related to Clinton's server on former Rep. Anthony Weiner's computer, prompting director James Comey to alert Congress.
"We don't know exactly why," CNN correspondent Dana Bash said to Baldwin. "Except I don't think it would be a bridge too far to have informed speculation that she has now become such a huge part of the story."
"I don't think you can overstate how close these two are," she added, referring to Clinton and Abedin. "And second daughter is just one aspect of her official role as Hillary Clinton's right hand woman. But it's not just hand, it's arm, it's brain, it's everything. I mean she is the person who thinks what Hillary Clinton is going to think before she thinks it and makes things happen for her. That's how close they are."
Abedin was spotted on Monday night by TMZ trick or treating with her son Jordan on the Upper East Side of New York City.
