Emails: Firm that hired Abedin called Chelsea Clinton a 'spoiled brat kid'

Emails published by WikiLeaks on Monday show Chelsea Clinton was worried about a consulting firm that was founded by former aides to Bill and Hillary Clinton as she clashed with fellow employees of the Clinton Foundation.

Teneo Strategies, founded by Doug Band and Declan Kelly, has drawn scrutiny for its decision to employ longtime Clinton confidante Huma Abedin during the final months of Hillary Clinton's State Department tenure. The firm created potential conflicts of interest when Abedin and Band went to State Department officials to seek assistance for Teneo's clients.

In a Nov. 2011 email to John Podesta, Hillary Clinton's current campaign chair, Band worried that "if this story gets out, we are screwed." He was referring to Chelsea Clinton's assertions that Teneo employees had begun to invoke Bill Clinton's name, without his knowledge or consent, on behalf of corporate clients.

"She is acting like a spoiled brat kid who has nothing else to do but create issues to justify what she's doing because she, as she has said, hasn't found her way and has a lack of focus in her life," Band said of the former first daughter's criticisms.
