As President, Hillary Clinton will appoint Huma Abedin as Secretary of State. This according to leaked e mails between Abedin, Clinton, and Clinton's former chief of staff Cheryl Mills, "Alhurra" channel reported Wednesday.

Abedin, 40, would be the first Muslim Secretary of State, and one of the youngest ever.
