Speaker of the House [[John Boehner]] was asked about the requests for investigations by the Inspectors' General.  He stated, "I don't know Huma. But from everything that I do know of her, she has a sterling character, and I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous."<ref>{{cite news|last=O'Keefe|first=Ed|title=John Boehner: Accusations against Huma Abedin ‘pretty dangerous’|url=http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/2chambers/post/john-boehner-accusations-against-huma-abedin-pretty-dangerous/2012/07/19/gJQAeDT6vW_blog.html|newspaper=Washington Post|date=19 July 2012}}</ref> Boehner admitted he hadn't read the letters requesting the investigations when he made his "dangerous" statement which some noted was itself dangerous.

A bi-partisan group of national security and law enforcement experts have since written to Boehner backing the requested investigations by the Inspectors General into Muslim Brotherhood influence inside U.S. government agencies, including the State Department and Huma Abedin. The letters' signatories include former CIA Director James Woolsey, Former Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lieutenant General Harry E. Soyster and Former U.S. Attorney General Edwin Meese.<ref>{{cite news |title=Letters of Support for the 'National Security Five' |url=http://gohmert.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=306163 |newspaper=gohmert.house.gov |date=7 August 2012 }}</ref>

Huma Abedin is a part of a pattern of the Obama Administration working with organizations and people having direct ties to Islamist terrorism. Andrew C. McCarthy, former Assistant U.S. Attorney and prosecutor in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, has written extensively on Abedin's direct ties to terrorism: "It turns out, however, that Abedin herself is directly connected to Abdullah Omar Naseef, a major Muslim Brotherhood figure involved in the financing of al-Qaeda. Abedin worked for a number of years at the Institute for Muslim Minority Affairs as assistant editor of its journal. The IMMA was founded by Naseef, who remained active in it for decades, overlapping for several years with Abedin. Naseef was also secretary general of the Muslim World League in Saudi Arabia, perhaps the most significant Muslim Brotherhood organization in the world. In that connection, he founded the Rabita Trust, which is formally designated as a foreign terrorist organization under American law due to its support of al-Qaeda."<ref>{{cite news |title=Huma Abedin's Brotherhood Ties Are Not Just a Family Affair |url=http://pjmedia.com/andrewmccarthy/2012/07/27/huma-abedins-brotherhood-ties-are-not-just-a-family-affair/ | date=July 27, 2012 }}</ref>
