Last week, the St. Cloud Times reported the Bachmann and four other Republicans sent a letter to inspectors general in the State, Homeland Security, Defense and Justice departments calling on them to investigate “potential Muslim Brotherhood infiltration” of the Obama administration by Abedin, an aide to Secretary Clinton and wife of former Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY). Their accusations were based on a report by Frank Gaffney’s neoconservative Center for Security Policy.

During a press conference on Thursday, a reporter asked Boehner if it was appropriate for a member of the House Intelligence Committee to make these types of unfounded accusations.

“I haven’t seen the letter, but — I don’t know Huma, but from everything I do know of her, she has a sterling character,” Boehner pointed out. “And I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous.”

“Would you consider taking her off the Intelligence Committee? Congresswoman Bachmann?” the reporter pressed.
