"The Hollywood White House" - Ben Affleck: Huma Abedin a ‘close friend’ who was ‘instrumental’ in making of ‘Argo’.(Shoebat).
Hollywood actor / director Ben Affleck premiered his new film – ‘Argo’ – in Washington, D.C. and in attendance was none other than Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Chief of Staff, Huma Abedin. Affleck revealed that the controversial figure had a hand in making the film.
CIA director David Petraeus was there, as well as Sen. Chris Dodd and Anthony Weiner, to name a few.

A few years ago, Weiner advised Ben Affleck — the director and star of “Argo” – on his political role in “State of Play.” But it was actually Abedin, an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who helped Affleck with this movie, the actor said.
“Huma is a really close friend of mine,” Affleck explained on the red carpet. “In fact, Huma — the reason why she’s here — is she was instrumental in helping us shoot the State Department.
As you know, we shot at the real State Department. We never would have had any of that stuff in our research [otherwise]. …Huma was enormously helpful, and obviously we invited her and she brought her husband. I look forward to seeing him.”
General Petraeus and Affleck appear to have developed a bit of a relationship during the making of the film.Read the full story here.
