so this hearing was really about roger clemens and about roger clemens taking on this report. so i think... and with the amount of publicity it received i think some members of congress were in a position where there was so much exposure that they felt they had been lied to it would be a problem for them to let that go publicly. >> suarez: you mentioned the mitchell report, former senate majority leader george mitchell had a commission and there was a lot of damming damning evidence in that report. that was called for by major league baseball, though. can that be entered as evidence into roger clemmons' trial? >> >> we don't know for sure what will be in evidence and what won't be. the judge has said he's going to come to that as it comes. but some of it will be. senator mitchell himself was listed on a potential list of witnesses today so... as were several of the lawyers who were involved in putting that report together. so, yes. >> woodruff:. >> suarez: this is a very high-profile courthouse and in judge reggie walton you have a very experienced jurist. has he set out some

clemens says that pettitte is mistaken. what's at issue here is a legal document, sort of sworn statement by the wife of andy pettitte, who says yeah, i heard my husband tell me that roger told him that he used steroids. now, the judge said that the wife's testimony, the wife's statement, was off-limits. nonetheless, this morning, the prosecution played an excerpt from what you're looking at right now. this congressional hearing in 2008. and one of the members of congress, in asking roger clemens a question at that hearing, read out a portion of laura pettitte's statement in which she says yes, andy told me he had a conversation with roger clemens in which roger clemens admitted using human growth hormone. so everything stopped at that point. the judge said you weren't supposed to do that. the government said well, you can just tell the jury to disregard this. clearly, the judge thought that wasn't enough, that too much damage has been done here, so he has declared a mistrial, meaning everything stops. the jury is sent home
