Former Clinton aide Huma Abedin, Alex Soros marry in swank Hamptons wedding packed with Dem heavyweights
Former top Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin and Alex Soros, son of billionaire left-wing donor George Soros, married in a lavish wedding in New York on Saturday that reportedly drew attendance from high-profile Democrats stretching from former Vice President Kamala Harris to former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.
The couple married in Water Mill, N.Y., at a Soros family estate on Saturday, according to the New York Times, which reported the swank Hamptons wedding drew private jets, fleets of black SUVs "and Clinton aides galore in a rare concentration of wealth and power."
Democrat heavyweights including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Harris – as well as her husband Doug Emhoff – and Pelosi attended the wedding, the New York Times reported. Other celebrities and high-profile attendees included Vogue's Anna Wintour, socialite Nicky Hilton Rothschild, and Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, the outlet reported, citing attendees.
"I'm looking forward to being a witness to their marriage; to the celebration that we all are going to be part of; to seeing so many longtime friends gathered in one place to really enjoy being part of Huma and Alex's start of their married life. And I think we all could use some fun, so I'm looking forward to all of it," Hillary Clinton told Vogue of the wedding in an article published Saturday.
Soros, 39, is the chairman of the Open Society Foundations, which is a massive $25 billion nonprofit founded by George Soros, 94, and helps bankroll left-wing causes and politicians across the country. Abedin, 48, is the former longtime aide to Hillary Clinton and often called the former secretary of state's "second daughter." Abedin was previously married to disgraced former New York Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner.
The wedding included a live performance from Boyz II Men, the vocal harmony group behind hits such as 1991's "Motownphilly," according to the Times, as well as toasts from Hillary Clinton, Wintour, and the Albanian prime minister. Abedin wore two custom wedding dresses over the course of the day, Vogue reported.
The wedding's menu reportedly included cuts of Wagyu beef, grilled prawns and chilled English pea soup.
Soros popped the question to Abedin in July of last year, sharing the announcement on his Instagram page at the time.
"This happened…we couldn't be happier, more grateful, or more in love," Soros wrote in an Instagram post, accompanied by a photo of him on one knee.
Abedin told Vogue of her engagement: "I was shocked, not by the fact that he proposed, but it was the timing that made no sense. It was a very hectic, very chaotic day, and I was leaving for a trip the next day. I went to get my hair colored in the morning [and] I dropped something on my foot, so I was wearing sneakers."
Fox News Digital reached out to the Open Society Foundations on Sunday morning inquiring if representatives for the couple had any additional comment to include on the wedding, but did not immediately receive a reply.

Starmer confident Trump will back Aukus pact after US launches review
Sir Keir Starmer said he is confident Donald Trump will back a nuclear submarine pact with the UK and Australia after America launched a review of the multibillion-pound deal. Speaking to reporters ahead of the G7 summit in Canada, the Prime Minister said he did not have 'any doubt' that the agreement would progress. The trilateral Aukus partnership, believed to be aimed at countering China, involves building a new fleet of nuclear-powered attack submarines and co-operating in other areas of defence. Australia would also get its first subs from the US under the deal. Asked what his message to the US president would be on the importance of the pact, Sir Keir, who is due to meet Mr Trump in Kananaskis next week, said: 'Aukus is really important. We're fully committed to it.' Sir Keir added it was 'not unusual for an incoming government to do a review of a project like that', and that Labour had done similar. 'We, of course, looked into the issue when we came into government.. But I'm 100% committed to it. I'm really clear about that.' Asked if he was confident Mr Trump would back it, he said: 'Yeah, I think so. It's a really important project. So I don't have any doubt that this will progress.' Confirming the review on Thursday, the White House said it wanted to make sure the pact was 'aligned with the president's America First agenda.'

Senator Involved In DHS Dust-Up: Imagine What's Happening To Normal People If This Happened To Me
Sen. Alex Padilla (D-Calif.) has some questions in the wake of his scuffle at Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's Los Angeles press conference on Thursday. Padilla was pushed out of the room and then detained after trying to confront Noem about the aggressive uptick in ICE raids currently sweeping across Southern California as she addressed reporters. And during a Sunday appearance on CNN's 'State of the Union,' he wondered how authorities are treating everyday people if they were willing to manhandle and handcuff a sitting senator in full view of cameras. 'If that's how they treat a senator trying to ask a question ―' he told Dana Bash. 'Then imagine, not what they can do, what they are doing to so many people without titles.' While DHS claims Padilla 'lunged' at the secretary, none of the footage from the incident appears to show that happening. During his appearance on 'State of the Union,' the senator also shut down DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin's suggestion that he was trying 'to manufacture a viral moment' during Thursday's event. Telling Bash how he was 'escorted' into the room by a National Guard member and an FBI agent while already at the federal building for a separate briefing, Padilla said, 'It was an opportunity to ask a question and do my job as a senator, do my job as a senator in questioning the cabinet secretary.'
