in the meantime,ing iter barn -- tucker barnes is downstairs in the transition center. it is hot. >> we'll have highs about 90 or so. warmer than yesterday. a little more humidity as well but the possibility of an isolated thunderstorm. let's get started. hd radar showing you not a little thunderstorm but a great big thunderstorm complex just off to the north and west. you can see it there north of pittsburgh and a lot of lightning associated with it and moving very sles -- slowly to the south and east. because we might get activity in here later today. i can guarantee cloud cover. let's show you the cloud cover. spilling into the washington area. there you go. and again it's not going to be a perfectly sunny day like yesterday. we'll have more clouds in the forecast. sort of a mix of some sunshine with high, thin cloudiness, serious cloudiness associated with the thunderstorm complex during the early-morning hours and later this afternoon we'll

see if we don't see a thunderstorm perk up here in the summer heat and humidity. going to be much warmer. 74 at reagan national. 68 in winchester, dulles is 76. today partly cloudy and heat returns and an official high of 91 degrees. could be an isolated thunderstorm later today. and we are due for another heat wave. that starts tomorrow and temperatures back in the upper 90s. i'll have details on that in just a minute. allison, back up stairs to you. i've engaged in several inappropriate conversations conducted over twitter, facebook and occasionally on the phone with women i met fine. i'm deeply asamed of my terrible judgment and actions and i am not resigning. i have made it clear that i accept responsibility for this and people will draw conclusions about me and they are free to do so. >> and now nancy pelosi is asking that the ethics

committee investigate to see if representative wiener broke any congressional rules. joining us now to talk more about this scandal out of new york, professor of communications at american university and fox 5 analyst, lenny steinhorn. good morning. we call you in for all kinds of stories. >> this one is a doozie. >> and it started out with days of the representative standing there simply lying about this, saying his twitter account was hack and now the admission. let's talk about the initial day. how damaging is that? >> it's damaging, not only that he lies but this is the add ole essent insight of a congressman. you look at his twitter photo, he looks like and add ole essent and then he lied to his parents the way an add ole essent would do. so he comes off at not up to the job or the title and that's very damaging and then he becomes a punchline and a repeated punch line for many

weeks that will happen. and then he lies to his constituents and the american people and he hit a trifecta and it's hard to pull himself out of this. >> and now he admitted that he lies and how does the public view that. >> that's the most important thing he could do. he should have done it before. it was clear the way he was hedging the whole truth had not come out. but he'll face potential ethics charges and he has to heal on the homefront. so he has a lot of things to do. if i were him, i would lay low, not get too visible. sit for a few weeks and let this new cycle run its course and then maybe do some sort of mia culpa in the media perhaps with his friend jon stewart. >> and he has high-powered friends. the clintons, to say the very least. and let's talk about the fact that he said he will not resign. when the public hearing that, what do they think about that? >> well he didn't do anything sort of illegal.

>> sure. >> i mean, lying to the public, politicians do that occasionally, as we know. and you shouldn't be tossed out of congress for being an add ole essent. these are things he has to deal with his wife. and ultimately, how much credibility has he lost and how will he be able to be an effective legislature. we've had plenty of instances where politicians have weathered the storms and other instances where they haven't. you have a senator from louisiana engaged in the whole prostitution situation and he's still sitting in the senate. he wins re-election and he's not going anywhere. so i think he can weather the storm. critical for him now is how he deals with it in the next few weeks. one of theeeshes has to be how he -- one of the issues is how he heals with his family and how he explains the immature behavior to the country that is curious about it. >> he has lofty political aspirations and said he will not quit now and hopes to one day or at least his name was bantered to be the mayor of new

york city. chances now? >> well you can say that he did have lofty political aspirations and the question is how he weathers this storm. but it is really interesting. eliott spitzer, who was involved in something far more sort of unseemly, seems to have recovered. he got a gig on cnn and people are talking about himself running for mayor of new york city. so there is an after-life if you treat yourself with dignity, show proper humility and show you have recovered and grow up and show you're an adult and that's what he has to do now. >> and we're so used to seeing the political wives stand next to their hus when these stories come out. didn't see that in this case. is that damaging as far as the american psyche goes? >> no, because we've become used to it and there is so much chatter that the spouses are being used as props and that would not be fair to his wife. they have a lot of things to do inside the walls of their home to heal and figure this all out. and i think this would have

been wrong to have her there as a prop and i don't think she would have gone for that either. so i think he did the right thing there. >> interesting stories. they keep -- they keep me in business and you on air and teaching at american university. >> i the comedians with great salaries. >> thank you for coming in. tony. and another top story we're following, the heated testimony by sulaiman brown about an alleged pay to play deal. audrey barnes is live at the wilson building with more on the showdown and with some reaction as well. good morning, audrey? >> reporter: good morning, tony. sulaiman brown was clearly a reluctant witness. he was combative, argumentative but he refused to back oval -- oval graces that he paid during

the last election. >> he promised me the job and i did everything he said to do and he turned around and disrespected our own agreement and me personally and i had to say something. >> the money part of it is completely unclear to me. there are money orders connecting to robert brooks who works for the campaign but they don't come to the money he what talking about and circumstances that lend themselves to being paid off and he didn't declare any other monies nor does he account for them. so that part of the story has too many holes to have any certainty to it. >> reporter: councilwoman mary cheh was making those comments in our studio this morning. she came to share her take on this whole deal. she said her ultimate goal is to prevent this from happening in the future and she said there will be legislation put in place to keep that from happening.

but i didn't turn into a championship golfer. were you able to identify early on the interest in the golf and the skill level to proceed down this road? >> i've been playing a little bit. month to month -- or once a month or something like that. and he started with little plastic clubs and started going further and further. >> and david also plays softball? >> he does. >> are you a good softball player too? >> i have become one, yes. >> dad, do you coach at softball? >> no. just the golf. >> tell me, special olympics, most of us familiar with the work they do and it's great work and to get all of these kids together, 7,000 young people, i shouldn't say kids, but young people together for this particular eventch it's the largest sporting event in the world. it will take place this year. and chris, talk to me about

what special olympics has meant to your family? >> oh, it's a great deal. it's given him opportunities he never would have had. so it's been great. he's had a couple of invitational tournaments down in florida. virginia had a couple of tournaments also every year. and the virginia beach and the nationals was last year out in nebraska. a little bit warm and a lot of corn. >> and greece, have you been to greece before? >> no. >> what are you most excited about? >> um, seeing what the environment is like down there and make new friends and have a good time. >> it should be a very good time. i want to mention, we said that there are several young folks from virginia who are going. nine athletes from across virginia. four from this area and in addition to david. karen dickerson from

are trying to be very cautious about where the feathers come from so they don't promote cruelty to animals. and i must confess, i thought those were fake. i didn't for a minute assume they were -- because you can make a fake thing. they sell fake feathers so you don't have to hurt an animal to do that. >> here is what i'm surprised by. i'm surprised there is a issue and a rush on rooster feathers because only a certain number of people with can pull that off. >> and they are all like steven tyler. >> it won't work for people like tony. >> you're not going to work with feathers in your hair. >> it's the artsy look. >> are they that big that they are putting a rush on rooster feathers? >> i guess so. we're talking about it. i thought they were fake. and i thought they are kind of like fun-looking and groovy, like a 70s thing.

cloud cover outside of your window, and that is why you have cloud cover. this is a very impressive thunderstorm complex. still pushing off to the south and east and there we are in washington. and we'll see if some of this doesn't sneak in here later today. so generally speaking, it should be a hot and humid one with sunshine. but we'll get some rain in here at some point during the course of the afternoon. let's do headlines. mix of sun and clouds out there today. and again, the cloudiness thanks in part to the area of thunderstorm activity just off to the north. heat returns and that's the real story around here the next several days. it's going to be in the low 90s later today and then upper 90s by tomorrow. maybe near 100 by thursday. slight chance of thunderstorms, and i just showed you the thunderstorms. and then the air quality alert, we've gone code orange so that's a moderate air quality. take it easy out there, marley at risk is the very young and very old, the elderly. so take it easy out there later today.
