he is anthony weiner's fellow democrat from new york.lso happens to be in an important position politically. he's in charge of getting democrats elected in 2012. he called and said he's going to resign, he gave him the news. i'm told from a source that's familiar with this conversation, he went to nancy pelosi said, you've got to hear this, and the two went over to a tree to have some privacy, because, of course, the white house picnic was quite crowded, and then weiner proceeded to talk to both of them. i'm told he said he would resign and that he apologized for being a distraction. i'm told he was very remorseful about what he had done to his family, to his colleagues, to the party, and, you know, kyra, i was told by several sources, many sources over the past few weeks, who had spoken to anthony weiner, that he was really, really emotional. one says he was in despair, the other said he was turbulent. i'm told in this conversation he was more clear-headed in quite some time, where he would resign. at that point i'm told he had not even

anthony weiner's fellow democrats.son chairman of the federal democrats in the house said it's difficult to watch the self-destruction of a friend and watch the witness of the breaking of hearts over what can be categorized as reprehensible behavior and bad judgment. larson is someone who did not publicly say that weiner should resign. he said it was up to constituents but many of the other democratic leaders and rank and file did say so. steve israel is a friend and a colleague of anthony weiner's from new york. he is also in charge of getting democrats elected in 2012. he was i think a bit more pointed in his statement. he said that it's right for him and his family because there's a lot of work to do in congress, and it talked about medicare and social security and some of the issues that democrats really felt that they were getting some traction on, wolf, and getting back on their feet politically until this anthony weiner scandal broke, and so that is a big reason and big indication, an illustration of why democra

has anything to do with anthony weiner? >> reporter: it does. i spoke to democratic source who is knowledgeable about anthony weiner's plans who tell cnn that he does plan to resign from congress today. anthony weiner who has been embroiled in a scandal that has really angered his democratic colleagues here has forced them to push him to resign. they are getting what they want. they are getting his resignation according to one democratic source i spoke with. how this is going to come out and what exactly anthony weiner is going to say we are working our sources to get that information. the headline we do expect anthony weiner to resign his seat. this is nearly three weeks after he initially sent that lewd tweet and started this whole issue rolling and started this big scandal. for somebody who has had a very promising career in the democratic party and certainly has -- has been in a very, very bad place, according to many democratic sources who have been talking to him the past few

anthony weiner on the other hand, he must resign. why is that? because it is really only okay if you are a republican. it wasn't just eric cantor calling for anthony wean ear's resignation today. incredibly it was also the chairman of the republican party. he put out a statement today saying quote, congressman weiner's actions and deception are unacceptable and she should resign. he appeared on my colleague martin bashir's show on msnbc and he ended up running headlong into the it's okay if you're a republican problem. watch this. >> the man is a creep and he's a member of the united states congress and he's admitted to flat out lying not only to the american people multiple times but to multiple reporters and even coming back to hallways after he knew -- >> mr. priebus is john ensign a creep as well? >> well, you know, listen -- >> no, sorry, can you just answer that? >> john ensign resigned. i'm not going to get -- >> was he a creep prior to his resignation? >> i have no idea about whether or not he was a creep or not. but the man resigned and h

anthony weiner is being reunited with his wife. that should go pretty well, i think. t the people respect his privacy, and well, i guess it was not a concern when he was texting photos of his junk. i don't think it was. >> so jokes aside, there is another way to look at this, really. sexing is a part of life. i bet you know somebody that does it although you would not know it because they would never tell you about it. lisa bloom who wrote a book on straight talk asks how many imperfect but smart people decided today they could never run for office. and democratic congressman barney frank, and republican senator david vitter, and president clinton still has spris. should congressman weiner resign? facebook.com/carolcnn. >>> first, almost three weeks into a growing scandal, anthony weiner is resigning from congress. we'll look at the district he represents. >>> casey anthony's lawyers try to convince jurors she did not murder her 2-year-old daughter, caylee. a new witness is a convicted kidnapper. >>> al qaeda appoints a new leader. we will explore what that might mean

no i'm not being too tough on anthony weiner. not at all. when you do stuff like that, when you ask for the public's trust and that's what you give back you got make restitution. you got to do something. weiner is a young guy. he's 42 years old. this guy is going to be able to come back and run for whatever he wants to. but right now it seems to me he's got some work to do. get your cell phones out. i want to know what you think. tonight's question, should congressman anthony weiner resign from congress? text a for yes, b for no to 622639 and you can always go to our new blog at ed.msnbc.com. we'll bring you the results later on in the show. joining me now is reverend al sharpton president of the national action network. i think both of us have had some things in our careers we've had to manage. when you lose the public trust, and you go around doing a media tour for a week and then all of a sudden you say, i lied, what does that say? how tough is this for him to manage? >> i think the toughness is the media tour. i think anyone would agree w

it's anthony weiner. and he needs to step up and if he knows that there is a picture out there that's even more evidence and more damaging to the american governmental process tan's very damaand it i tog the democrats and that is exactly why harry reid is not going to support him. your thoughts? >> i do think that photo is probably a game changer but again, ed, i would never accuse you of being a right winger. i'm just saying if we let the other side keep taking scalps that determines who our leaders are. >> the right wing isn't taking a scalp. anthony weiner has been driving this bus. you folks are in denial. >> i have to say i think the most horrifying thing about the entire story is we have infinitely more important things to be focused on as a country. >> yes. >> like it or not this is a distraction. he is going to be an all ba tros around the neck of the democratic party and he's supposed to be doing the important work of the american people who elect these men and women and, unfortunately, more ofte

well as of course people news channels is finally coming to a close and new york congressman anthony weiner today gave in to mounting pressure mostly from his own party and the president and that announced resignation from office now if you're thinking of i guess i might be able to continue the work that the citizens of my district elected me to do to fight for the middle class you know struggling to make it unfortunately the distraction that i have created has made that impossible. so today i'm announcing my resignation from congress. all right well if you happen to be one of the five people in this country who hasn't heard of this scandal then the story is so one of the democrats who was crazy for girls crazy for twitter things that probably don't exactly mix when we're talking about a let the politicians who are married and who seem to enjoy sending photos of their junk to friends on the internet so how did the saga finally come to a close and will the loss of winner leave the democratic party shrivelled up for some answers let's turn to democratic strategist erica community and todd's w

the phrase, heard through the halls of congress, when anthony weiners news broke out, that damn socialia. indeed. that's how a capital hill colleague referred to the sources of congressman weiner's undoing with politico. while technology catches so many offes this that would do things they aught not do, there are sites that facilitate people doing exactly what they are getting caught didding that they weren't supposed to do. you get my point. one of the more well known and controversial in fa sill dating immoral behavior if you want to do it that or promiscuity between these who are mard rid, to be more factual, ashley madison.com, they special eyes, get this, a website that specializes in aranging affairs between married men and married women. reducing the rate of getting caught. or that's the pitch. noel, do you think men and women's ability or frequency of infidelity or interaction has gone up because of the internet? >> probably. you know, infidel sit closely tied to opportunity. whether the workplace or web, it is a great equalizer. i think more and more women are engaging in infi

now tonight congressman anthony weiner is seeking professional help after the strongest call for his resignation. he's now seeking treatment. top democratic members of weiner's own party like nancy pelosi now say they want him gone. here's how democratic national committee chairwoman debbie wasserman-schultz put it. >> i call on anthony weiner to resign. the behavior he's shown has been reprehensible. for the good of all he should step aside and address those things that should be most important his and his family's well being. >> all right. here's nancy pelosi's statement. she says congressman weiner has a love of his family, the confidence of his constituents and the recognition that he needs help. i urge congressman weiner to seek that help without the pressure of acmember of congress. our very own jason carroll caught up with anthony weiner. they talked about everything, from calls to his resignation and delaware police are investigating an alleged contact between weuner and a 17-year-old girl. >> reporter: it's not clear where the congressman has gone to seek treatment. he depart

some new compromising photos of congressman anthony weiner, this time pictures reportedly taken at the capitol, are tonight making it a lot more difficult for weiner and democratic leaders to make this embarrassing scandal go away. the latest pictures have surfaced a day after weiner announced he was taking a leave of absence to seek treatment. and at a time the calls from within his own party for weiner to resign were already becoming more urgent. our capitol hill team is following these new developments beginning with luke russert in our washington newsroom. luke, good evening. >> good evening, lester. tomorrow as congress returns from recess, one member will be noticeably absent. new york congressman anthony weiner who will take a leave of absence from the house. but even after party leaders urged him to do so, will not resign. >> reporter: shocking new photographs of anthony weiner published by tmz.com. the congressman allegedly e-mailed these shirtless pictures of himself taken at the members gym on capitol hill to an unlived woman. other photos are too graphic for television. wei

if you contrast that with anthony weiner, nobody came to anthony weiner's defense.hink republicans played this pretty well them didn't really pile on early on. they let it play out. >> no question, this became a democratic civil war. and speaker boehner saying we won't meddle in your problems. let me come back to you. contrast the way other scandals have played out. where the tax issue is. less sexy, to say the obvious. there are no pictures, a picture of a 1040 isn't good compared to what anthony weiner was sending over his ipod or whatever. is the media then at fault for just playing to the salacious, when other thing may be just as serious? >> certainly the way this story came to dominate washington coverage, much more so than the debate about the debt ceiling or the war or any of the wars that the united states is involved in. always in part to the fact that let's not let weiner off the hook. had he not lied repeatedly in all those television interviews, it would have been rest of a story. and even though he's been a bit of a loner on the hill, might have felt m

it's not anthony weiner is going hugely above and beyond. it's an important moment that he almost apologized to breitbart. many of us who use twitter said the as i remember explanation is probably the explanation. the press did not try to explain it they tried to explain it away for him. that was an aloom nalgt moment and breitbart came out on top. >> bill: next shoe to drop is the house ethics committee. next on the run down will the anthony weiner situation hurt the democratic party since he was a point man for many of its policies. later, bernie goldberg will weigh in on weiner's confession. the reaction to it those reports after these messages. the markets never stop moving. of course, neither do i. solution: td ameritrade mobile. i can enter trades. on the run. even futures and forex. complex options? done. the market shifts... i get an alert. thank you. live streaming audio. advanced charts. look at that. all right here. wherever "here" happens to be. mobile trading from td ameritrade. number one in online equity trades. announcer: tra

anthony weiner coming clean.," his words today, in an emotionally and occasionally bizarre news conference, where he finally admitted after days and days of diversions, denials, half-truths, and outright lies to sending a lewd photo of himself over twitter. admitin admitting also to inappropriate relationships with six women, and exchanging messages with them, including a number of them after he was married. we'll show his whole statement and talk about whether he can survive politically. >>> also, a history lesson for sarah palin. palin not backing down, but doubling down on her comments about the historical accuracy of paul revere. historian douglas brinkley has the facts of the historic ride. >>> and a dramatic day in the case of the casey anthony trial. gary tuchman was there and tonig tonight's crime and punishment report. >> more of my exclusive interview with mitt romney in just a moment. >>> in fact, i agree with mitt romney, who recently said he's proud of what he accomplished on health care in massachus

we are not 100% sure and we can't identify the photo that you have, but we don't know if it is anthony weiner, and we will have this pres conference and anthony wen weiner will be holding a press conference and we don't know the topic of the media availability, but we know that the media availability was announced about an hour before it is actually supposed to happen. so it falls under the definition of hastily called press conference coming hours after all of these new photographs have been posted on this website. so, we will have to find out exactly what the congressman has to say, and if he will be making an announcement or trying to explain himself, but you know that the congressman's efforts, brooke, up to this point to explain himself have kind of come across as more evasive than actually any of us getting answers. this is relating to the other photo that we have been talking about for a couple of weeks now, and the photo sent to a college student via his twitter account in washington state. he came out and sat down with network anchors and our wolf blitzer and while we as a network an

now tonight congressman anthony weiner is seeking professional help after the strongest call yet for his resignation. weiner wants treatment. now that his tragic online flirtations with women have become all too public, top democratic members of weiner's own party like house leader nancy pelosi now say they want him gone. here's how democratic national committee chairwoman debbie wasserman-schultz put it. >> it was with great disappointment that i call my colleague anthony weiner to resign. the behavior he's shown has been reprehensible. his continued service is untenable. this affair has become an unacceptable distraction for representative weiner, his family, his quaets, and the house, and for the good of all he should step aside and address those things that should be most important, his and his family's well-being. >> all right. here's nancy pelosi's statement. she says congressman weiner has a love of his family, the confidence of his constituents and the recognition that he needs help. i urge congressman weiner to seek that help without the pressures of being a member of congres

how do you square that with as smart a guy as anthony weiner? >> i saw that with john edwards who denied having the affair, then denied it was his baby. all that fell apart. i think people in politics and weiner is a classic example now get so full of themselves, surrounded by people who tell them how great they are they come to believe the ordinary rules don't apply, that somehow even if the story starts to unravel, that they can tough it out. weiner made a spectacular miscalculation. the lying opened the door for all of us to nail this guy and that's what's happening. >> let's switch gears. switch the lens. to turn the focus back to the media. how has the media handled this? you have breitbart who is, by many people, reviled. what he has done in the past allegedly about taking tapes, cutting and splicing, had maim him a pariah within the mainstream media. i think many people will say he rehabilitated himself, whereas the mainstream media was nowhere until he led the mainstream media by the nose. am i wrong? >> i don't see breitbart having done

i will never speak of anthony weiner again. we'll have more on anthony weiner tomorrow. (laughter) folks, the nfl may be in lockout mode but my reporting is still full contact and likely to result in head trauma. this is the sport report.

i'm betty nguyen. >>> speaker of the house, nancy pelosi, says congressman anthony weiner's decision to resign was the right judgment. weiner made his announcement yesterday, ending weeks of turmoil over his sexting scandal. >> i'm here today to again apologize for the personal mistakes i have made and the embarrassment i have caused. i make this apology to my neighbors and my constituents but i make it particularly to my wife, huma. i hope to be able to continue the work that the citizens of my district elected me to do, to fight for the middle class and those struggling to make it. unfortunately, the distractions that i have created has made that impossible. >> joel brown is in washington with more on these developments. he joins us live. good morning, joel. >> betty, good morning to you. almost three weeks after anthony weiner sent that lewd photo to a seattle college student, the scandal finally reached its peak, with the disgraced congressman calling it quits. a steady crowd posed for pictures outside anthony weiner's office before it gets packed up for good. >> today i'm announc

anthony weiner.great public servant. only anthony weiner can clean this up. >> this democrat told cnn publicly that others told us privately. >> these things hang on like a disease. you can't make this stuff up. tony is the only one that can clear it up. >> earlier in the week weiner came to the cameras but didn't answer questions about a lewd photograph sent from his twitter account. >> can you say why you haven't asked law enforcement to investigate what you are alleging -- >> dana, if i was giving a speech to 45,000 people, and someone in the back of the room threw a pie or yelled out an insult, i would spend the next two hours responding to that? no. >> have you ever taken a picture of yourself like this? >> i have photographs, i don't know what photographs are out there in the world of me. i don't know what things have been manipulated and dock toward, and we're going try to find out what happened. >> reporter: now weiner's strategy, try to completely avoid reporters questions. >> i don't have a

what's the future for anthony weiner now. >> anthony weiner has to ask himself a basic question, whyl in politics after this? he's been in the house for 13 years right now. he's had two goals in the house. the one that's existed the whole time is to be mayor of new york city. he ran in 2005 was all set to run in 2009 and he's been running for 2013. i don't think many people in new york believe it after this he's a serious, viable candidate. >> i do. i do, yes, for mayor. i'm just one and i'm not a new york voter. >> the case against a viable candidate for mayor is simple. the new york democratic establishment doesn't like him. he's only at 20% in the polls right now. you've got six other options in new york. the new york media's not going to let this go. the second issue, the second reason he's been in congress is to be a tv star. which he's emergencied as. part of that is part of his strategy to run for mayor in 2013. his base in new york the blue collar voters. he's expanded that base appealing to man hat tan liberals, liberals in brownstone brooklyn. it's a successful coalition. b

>> well, certainly it was a challenge to anthony weiner.'s not forget that the congressman told luke russert that he couldn't use certitude in saying that that photo wasn't him which, of course, raised a lot of eyebrows, meaning is this behavior more extensive than anthony weiner is willing to cop to? and if so, what were his methods? >> i've been critical of him in some other contexts, the shirley sherrod story for one. but on this story, did he do anything wrong? >> i don't think he did. i think he went with the news. and clearly the story blew up. >> up to the point where he apparently was showing this picture to opie and anthony. >> he was in the video. let's explain to people, opie and anthony have a satellite radio kind of a raunchy show. breitbart said he was not going to release this. it's a naked picture of weiner below the waist. sort of a frat-room atmosphere. i take him at his word that nobody is going to snap a picture of the picture. >> well, then he's never been involved in that show before because that's just the sort of thi

anthony weiner's fellow democrats are largely silent about his fate but this comment from the democratic leader spoke volumes. >> i know congressman weiner. i wish there was some way i could dep fefend him, but i can >> what would you say if he asked you? >> call someone else. >> reporter: nancy pelosi sent this letter to the house ethics committee formalizing her call for an investigation, something that she did not technically have to do. a senior democratic aide adds pressure for him to go. still, despite what democratic sources describe as deep anger and frustration with weiner, neither pelosi or any other fellow democrat has called on him to design. but eric cantor, the number two house republican did, saying i certainly don't condone his activity and i think he should resign. meanwhile, the house ethics committee will not say whether they are investigating weiner but an open question is what rules could he have broken? >> to be clear, the picture was of me and i sent it. >> reporter: the most obvious potential violation, a lawmaker shall conduct themselves at all times in a manner

who really broke this story this morning in anticipation of the resignation from congressman anthony weiners standing alongside congressman steve israel, the chair of the democratic national chair committee, and i know he's one of the folks, along with congresswoman pelosi, who weiner called last night. dana, it's all yours. >> congressman, thank you very much for joining us. >> sure. >> reporter: first of all, the statement that you issued made pretty clear that you're obviously sad but you're relieved when it comes to the political distraction that this has caused. >> congressman weiner made the right decision for himself, for his family, for his wife and also the country and congress. last week the republicans introduced a bill to privatize social security and the american people deserve an undistracted debate on issues like that, like jobs, and we will return to that debate. >> reporter: people realized it's not a usual thing for democratic leaders like yourself to go as far us a went and publicly call for one of your colleagues to step aside, colleagues who, like you, are elected by yo

anthony weiner is a man alone today. facing an ethics investigation ordered by his own party leader and the man with more than 63,000 twitter followers and more than 47,000 friends on facebook cannot find a friend in washington or new york. at his cringe-worthy news conference, weiner says he doesn't think he violated he house rules. >> i don't see anything that i did that violated any rules of the house. i don't see anything that i did that certainly violated my oath of office to uphold the constitution. >> nbc's luke russert covers capitol hill and interviewed anthony weiner last week. politico was at the congressional congressman's news conference in new york. welcome both to you. maggie, first to you. let's talk about the news conference, itself. describe the room and what went on when andrew brightbart took the podium. >> he took the podium in fairness at request of reporters who wanted him to be able to address everyone in unison and freely. he was surrounded by cameras after a few of us noticed him. there was real

most powerful man in the house of representatives is also turning his back on anthony weiner. >> i think it is up to congressman weiner and his constituents to make that decision. i don't condone his activity. i think he should resign. >> tonight, is the congressman headed home from work, cnn producer adam reese told weiner about eric cantor's remarks. >> congressman cantor called for your resignation. official call for your resignation. >> careful, guys. >> how do you feel about that? >> he's entitled to his viewpoint. careful. >> would you consider it? >> i'm not resigning, no. >> new details about the scandal surrounding congressman weiner in a moment, but first, a look at some of the other stories we'll be drilling down on tonight. afghanistan, is it time to go? president obama sure seems to think so. >> we have accomplished a big chunk of our mission. >> but secretary gates isn't so sure. >> what's the cost of failure? >> sebastian junger says there are risks if we stay too long or leave too soon. and mercenaries in the middle east. e.d. hill reports in a new private army of america
