A former close aide to Hillary Clinton has reportedly written in a new memoir how she was sexually assaulted by a Us Senator .

Huma Abedin said the unnamed politician pounced on her on a couch in the mid-2000s after inviting her into his home, according to The Guardian .

She says she rebuffed him as he tried to kiss her and escaped.

The Claim is detailed in her new book, Both/And: A Life in Many Worlds, which is being published next week.

Ms Abedin was one of 2016 Democratic presidential nominee and former Obama-era secretary of state Mrs Clinton's most trusted aides, and was once described by her as her " second daughter".

She describes the sexual assault while recounting her work for Mrs Clinton when she was a Us Senator for New York between 2001-09.

Ms Abedin, now 45, does not reveal the senator's identity or even his party.

She says that after a Washington dinner she walked out with The Politician and when they stopped in front of his home he invited her inside for coffee. She Accepted .

, which has seen an Advance Copy of the memoir, Ms Abedin writes: " Then, in an instant, it all changed. He plopped down To My right, put his left arm around my shoulder, and kissed me, pushing his tongue into my mouth, pressing me back on the sofa.

" I was so utterly shocked, I pushed him away. All I wanted was for The Last 10 seconds to be erased. "

Ms Abedin says the senator apologised and said he had " misread" her, before asking if she wanted to stay.

She writes: " Then I said something only the twentysomething version of me would have come up with - 'I Am So Sorry ' - and walked out, trying to appear as nonchalant as possible. "

She also details in The Book her anger at her ex-husband, former Democratic New York congressman Anthony Weiner , whose career was destroyed by sex scandals.
