While NBC ignored the news that top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin would soon be taking questions from the FBI about the Democratic frontrunner’s e-mail scandal, Monday’s NBC Today instead chose gush over the longtime Clinton confidante answering softballs on a liberal podcast.  

Co-host Savannah Guthrie proclaimed: “In her first ever podcast interview, Huma Abedin sheds new light on her relationship with Clinton, her family, and much more.” Correspondent Kristen Welker followed: “Huma Abedin has been a fixture by Hillary Clinton's side for more than two decades, but she almost never speaks publicly. Now, in a new episode of the podcast Call Your Girlfriend, Abedin opens up about what it's like behind the scenes with her boss.”
