i'm deeply sorry for the pain this caused my wife huma and our family. moy constituents, my supporters and staff. in addition over the last few years i have engaged in several inappropriate conversations con ducted over twitter, e-mail, occasionally on the phone with women i met online. it exchanged messages and photos of explicit nature with six women over the last three years. for most part these communications took place before my marriage, though some sadly took place after. to be clear, i have never met any of the women or have had physical relationships at this time. i am not resigning. i have made it clear that i accept responsibility for this. people who draw conclusions about me are free to do so. i have worked for people in my district and politics for 20 years and hope they see this in a light it is, a regrettable mistake. i love my wife very much. we have no intention of splitting up over this. >> he said what he did was dumb and self-destructive. as for andrew breitbart, breitbart took the podium before weiner's news conference and explained

more on his wife huma who is a top aide to secretary of state clinton. from one of the congressman's sexting partners. but first, the latest from dana bash. last night, the silence from democrats was deafening. that has changed just in the last few hours. more and more democrats, especially in the house, are calling on congressman weiner to resign. >> you're right, anderson. before today, no democrat had said that the congressman should resign. today many did. as you said, the most significant are from weiner's fellow democrats. they started coming out late today. now about a half dozen are saying publicly it's time for weiner to go. that includes alison schwartz. it shows how much democrats think this is hurting them politically. she is in charge of recruiting democratic candidates to run in 2012. some of the language has been quite strong. joe donnelly of indiana said, enough is enough. it's time for congressman weiner to resign. his actions have disgraced the congress. what's most telling is not just the public statements, anderson. i'm told that wein

>> he said he and his wife huma are not splitting up. by the way, she's in political circles as much as he is. she is a long time aide to hillary clinton and is currently the deputy chief of staff for operations at the state department. i should add minority leader nancy pelosi is calling for an ethics committee investigation. so this is not over by a long shot tonight. >>> not a good day for d.c. government. two local scandals involving city leaders at the center of both, what else? money. on the left ward 5 councilman harry thomas accused of misspending the city's cash and on the right sulaimon brown finally testifying before the city council about allegations involving mayor vincent gray. >> we'll start with the ward 5 councilman harry thomas who could face criminal charges for all this. at the very least he's being sued by attorney general for $1 million. thomas is accused of spending money meant for youth baseball in the district on trips to vegas and california and on an audi quattro suv. here's the car. nathan has been investigati

for huma, it is just awful. as i say, she's very much in love with anthony wiener, and friends say they will try to work this out. >> it's been reported that her boss has been advising her. how do you think that's playing out given that her boss is hillary clinton and she's been in the spotlight for this kind of thing before? >> they've dealt with this. i think there will be a lot of anger at the media. nobody wanted to ask the questions of anybody at the state department about this. this is really tough for those of us who like huma a lot. one of the things about hillary clinton that you know so well is she has elevated women's issues to a human rights issue starting in beijing all the way back in the 1990s, and throughout her travels she is also meeting with women's groups. she talks about women's empowerment, and this is just so humiliating and devastating for a team of strong women at the state department who have made it u.s. policy and done it so effectively and with so much respect worldwide. >> i think t

you saw him break down, start crying, apologize especially to his wife huma.course of political scandals in washington? >> well, wolf, the poor judgment he showed in getting involved with these electronic relationships i think was a mistake that he could have survived. and because we have so many people who are sexting now on the internet and playing games on the internet that i imagine there would be a measure of forgiveness. but once he was asked about it and once it broke and he lied about it as he did, that breaks the sort of bond as you would between congressman and members of his constituency. causes enormous problems for democrats. probably the hardest part of this is whether he can survive within his own caucus and whether the democrats may not wish him gone. and that, i just think it got a lot bigger once he lied. and abc is now reporting that there was a woman in texas with whom he had a number of exchanges and she was encouraged by others to go to drudge, go to breitbart, and that's how this forced him out today. >> you know, i guess the question is

your relationship you would feel about it. >> if huma and anthony weiner stay together, married less than a year, i think the anniversary present could be pretty decent. >> as a taxpayer i feel like he cheated. i think the people who pay his salary feel like he chelted. a big waste of time. >> a rare look inside a special jet used by the government. >> we will go on board the military's doomsday plane. find out why we cannot show you all of this plane. very interesting. don't miss it. you are watching "world news now." >>> diane sawyer is back after traveling to afghanistan with secretary of defense robert gates. he was on his farewell tour befrg retiring later this month. >> the two flew in a plane, night watch, believe it or not it can with stand a nuclear blast. >> reporter: it feels like we are inside a monsoon in singapore as we run to meet defense secretary robert gates and get our first look inside night watch, the doomsday plane. think of it as an airborne ark, if a nuclear bomb hits the united states, the most powerful survivors will board this plane. the plane will fake to
