that is a good question who we did hear from today, as you saw in the report just now, is megan broussard. the woman who are receiving the photos are beginning to come out and tell their story and, by and large, they're hearing from them they did not think they were the only ones getting the, males. he was asked during the news conference yesterday, was the x- rated picture that andrew brightbar claimed he had, it was, in fact, the congressman? at that point, he said i am not going to deny it's not and clearly in his own admission yesterday, there was much more out there that we don't know about this. the key question on the and th committee is going to be how far is congress going to go to look into this and are his members, the fellow members in the house allowed to get to that point. >> one more quick question, did you hear from the women at all who they were asking for the photos or do we just assume that congressman wiener thought it was a good idea? >> reporter: in his statements yesterday, he said these were communications that, you know, if you read into what he's saying, this was

>> 26-year-old megan broussard of texas says that she became acquainted with wiener after seeing him online. >> i like to see someone who is passionate about something. >> she says that he immediately responded to her face but comment. would soon follow was it litigious internet relationship, including over 100 instant messages and, eventually, pictures. >> i thought he was attractive. >> how much of it was sex talk? >> he would attempt all the time. >> she said they began an exchange of increasingly risque photos. >> in that piece, as you probably heard, there was a mention that abc had paid money for a licensing fee for the photographs. this issue comes up all the time, paying for interviews. what are the rules now? if you did not pay attention, you would not have known why chris cuomo was mentioning that. but again, i do not know the particulars of what happened here. i know we do not pay for interviews. i think they're referred to photographs, the use of the photographs. i guess some of the people that you interview say, in order for me to allow you to use these photographs, i ex

a 26-year-old single mom from texas, her name is megan broussard, says she has dozens of sexually charged e-mails from the congressman. a 40-year-old las vegas black jack dealer claims she had a sexting relationship with the songman, and what could be the biggest bombshell, tmz, the tab lout online site, is reporting that the congressman asked a porn star named ginger lee to lie about their relationship and it claims he offered her help from someone on his pr team to do it. the question now, did anthony wiener use congressional resources? nbc's kelly o'donnell joins me now. kelly, quite honestly, you have a lot of people critical of the media saying this story is salacious but when you look at this new allegation from this adult film star, she is claiming that the congressman offered her some kind of help. the question is was it private pr team or was he referring to congressional aides here? >> reporter: members of congress always have a political operation that runs their campaigns and a separate team that works for the government. and anthony wiener when he announced this news conferen

because the second person that i ended up talking to, megan broussard, didn't come to me finally till last friday, which was exactly a week after congressman weiner started to endorse, tacitly endorse the campaign of certain media entities to call me the hacker, to say i savaged the girl in seatt seattle, who i never mentioned her name, so i was in the process of trying to find information that would exonerate me. and so i don't think i would, because i think the story would have died. i mean, if there's no media interest in the story, if he's apologized, what's the point of going any further? >> i think it's impossible for us to predict whether or not the media would continue to be interested at that point. that's pure hypothesis. if he had acknowledged that sin, you would have said probably end of story. let me fast forward to the bottom-line issue that is dominating the discourse in washington and in weiner's district now, should he resign, in your mind? and, if so, why? because he lied about what he did or because of the underlying acts? then i want to pursue that a little bit. >>

the congressman confirmed megan broussard was one of the six women who he had an online risque flirtationhe sent this now infamous picture to her. she told abc news that she was surprised at how open and willing he was. >> i was -- i mean, i just didn't understand why he wanted to talk to me so much. even in our exchanges, i did say like, why are you so open? things of that nature. it was not like i was chasing him at all. >> reporter: weiner also had porn star ginger lee as a fan. she tweeted march 13, you know it is a good day when you wake up to a d.m., direct message from representative weiner. i'm a fan. he is my trifecta of win. there's also 21-year-old jeanette cordova who insists she was not among the six women weiner referred to. but it was weiner's accidental tweet to her that set the story in motion. we tried repeatedly contacting weiner's office. our calls were not returned. one question in all of this is did representative weiner use congressional resources while he was tweeting and e-mailing. he insists, saying he used his personal blackberry. there's still a lot of ethical

in an exclusive interview with abc news's chris cuomo, 26-year-old megan broussard said she was one ofcommunicated with online. weiner reached out to her on facebook after she commented on one of his speeches. she says they flirted online and exchanged inappropriate photos. >> he was eager to hear if i wanted him or thought he was attractive or -- that sort of thing. >> reporter: how much of it was sex talk? >> he would attempt all the time. >> reporter: house minority leader nancy pelosi called for an ethics committee investigation to determine whether weiner violated any house rules. peggy and daniel. >>> well, the long u.s.-led war in afghanistan could soon reach a major milestone. the president is expected to announce later this month the beginnings of an exit plan. how many u.s. troops will start coming home and also when. the white house describes the announcement as a step along the way to afghans taking control of their own country. >> with respect to afghanistan, i'll be making an announcement soon. what i have said this summer is a summer of transition where we start handing

"the new york times," by the way, is reporting that congressman weiner's wife is pregnant. we are going to have more on her. she is traveling with the secretary of state. they are on a trip to the uae and on to africa over the next several days. we are going to have much more on this woman coming up. what a story we are watching now. let's go to jack cafferty. jack, can't make this kind of stuff up. i have to tell you. it is so sad. it is so painful. especially for those of us who know his wife. she is a wonderful young woman. what she must be going through now is awful. >> and -- it is disgraceful. i mean -- it was a bad enough story. but now, i mean, you have to feel very sorry for his wife. she is apparently in the early stages of her pregnancy according to "the times." she doesn't seek the spotlight. very low profile and does her job. classy. top down. just, you know -- and to be humiliated by this clown, she's married to, pathetic. it has been abo

there is 24-year-old text and megan broussard, she says she received weiner feeters after she texted him and called him hot. they say there is one more photo that is totally sexually explicit. he said if that photo was public it would end his career immediately. he said he would not make that photo public in order to, quote, save weiner's family. alisyn: tim pawlenty about to speak at the university of chicago. of course he's running for president and is expected to layout his plans on the economy including reforming the u.s. tax code and go on the attack against the president's current economic policies. a new poll suggests he may find fertile ground there. six in ten of people surveyed in "the washington post" abc news poll give obama negative marks on the economy and deficit. nearly half strongly disapprove of his performance in these two areas. let's bring in chris stirewalt with more on this. you are the author of the power play, a political newsletter that comes out every day that we are so strong full for. you say in that power play that we should expect a different more vigor

that question, there may be an answer from megan broussard, the texas woman who showed abc news the lewd and messages weiner sent to her. how often do you talk? >> we talked. i mean, he would instant message me every day. >> reporter: broussard's phone shows she received a two-minute phone call from weiner's official office in his new york district may 1th. but does it matter? house ethics manual says congressional computers must be used for official business. but there is a loophole, allowing for, quote, incidental personal use. but weiner may have run afoul of the very first house ethics rule which says members shall reflect credibly on the house. >> this is a twitter hoax, a prank that was done. i am a victim of it, the poor girl is the victim of it. >> reporter: the problem for weiner is not that he repeatedly lied but how he did it. look how he lashed out at us last week. >> is it inappropriate for a member of congress to be following young women on their twitter accounts? from not even from their district. you know, several young women on your account. 40,000 people follow you and
