but white house staffers karl rove in the living also sprayed the covert agents name to reporters at the same time assuring to the president's own press secretary they had nothing to do with it their good individuals their point of numbers of our white house and that's why i spoke with them so that i could come back to you and say that they were not involved i went to both those individuals asked them point blank were you involved in the leaking of valerie plame identity and anyway both them told me unequivocally no but scott mcclellan now says in his new book rove and libby lied to him and it turns out a lot of reporters knew it but said nothing and scott mcclellan the white house spokesperson gets up and he says karl rove is absolutely. well there were at least three probably four people if not in that room that watched it live and various news organization the knew that that was a flat out lie because they had talked to karl rove about ellery played and who she was good with were so eager for access to the white house they allowed themselves to be used for political gain using the

i want to bring in my capitol hill correspondent, jonathan karl, with the latest on this. hey, jon. >> reporter: hey, george. this comes after this incredible pressure being brought down to bear on weiner. as you mention, the democratic leadership was threatening to take away his committee assignments. they were talking about going further and actually kicking him out of the democratic caucus in the house. those two moves would have meant if weiner would have wanted to come back to congress, he would be coming back with virtually no power and no party, really. >> as you know, jon, he wanted to hold out against the system. didn't want to resign. this has been going on about three weeks now. started to break over the memorial day weekend. i remember well when you interviewed him. and the first round of interviews coming out of this one, saying he was the victim here. he had no intention of resigning. but this pressure has continued to build with more and more information. more and more photos, coming out. >> reporter: it has. every day, there was another element to the scand

and various news organizations the knew that there was a flat out alive because they had talked to karl rove about ellery plain and who she was the reporters were so eager for access to the white house they allowed themselves to be used for political gain using the reporters in effect to carry out their political mission and that's different from cultivating a source to get information that's of value to you as a journalist here you are being used by the power of an official to carry out their political work instead of clarifying the facts in this national security breach the media just had a free for all i think that while i always you know accept. our innocence wasn't correct which is just ridiculous was she in fact a covert agent was never even proved there was no doubt that her relationship with the cia was part of if you give the identity of a classified person it doesn't mean diddly squat you to be a covert agent and i still don't believe she was engaged in any covert activities keamy whether she was covert or not from day one and she isn't she's never been proven to be covert to
