orpds were given to sulaimon brown. mayor gray always denied paying off brown but you could certainly say the charges represent the first major blow to his administration. >> our city is certainly under an ethical cloud. with the closing of the tommy mommas capital -- thomas chapter, the book is still being written. i do believe we're going to have other charges, other people, and, you know, we are going to have to do our best to be sure that the business of the city is getting done. and that certainly that my colleagues need to understand there's a crisis and a crisis in confidence of our government. >> reporter: because of this crisis of confidence in government, many of the other council members could not comment in regards to this impending plea deal because they have been subpoenaed by federal investigators as well so there are several people who potentially could be involved

do inside the four walls of your church or your synagogue or your mosque or whatever. >> that means catholic charities, catholic university, archbishop carol high school would not be considered religious organizations. although the president offered a compromise to require insurance companies to pay for the coverage, when religious organizations object archbishop wuerl says this is a no go since the diocese is self- insured. the leaders of maryland's general assembly has announce add possible date for a special session to consider expanding gambling in the state. the tentative date is july 9. one central topic would be the approval of a gambling site in prince george's county. county executive rushern baker has announced his support for a casino at national harbor. good morning. it's 5:34. if you're just waking up time for another your money report. >> jessica doyle is back with what happened to facebook. >> so much for all the hype about the facebook public
