. >> and i think mr. gore said in court today there was an agreement between he and, i think, it was person a and when person a did his part, mr. gore did his part. >> reporter: gore's attorney tells us his client is working with federal authorities as they continue the probe into gray's campaign. >> and asking questions and -- >> reporter: federal authorities are not done yet. >> i believe the government will charge additional impeachment. >> reporter: one might be who prosecutors referred to as person a. gore said that person a would actually deliver the payments to brown and also played a part in putting the names on the money orders, names of people who had no idea this illegal activity was going on and meanwhile, cook said this when asked if mayor gray knew what was going on. >> and no participation of mayor gray or anything. >> remember, brown told us here that he received pay offs from several people and that person a was never identified in court today. meanwhile, thomas gore could face time in prison

mr. gore said in court today that there was an agreement between he and, i think it was person a. and person a did his part. mr. gore did his part. >> gore's attorney tells us his client is working with federal authorities as they continue their probe into gray's campaign. >> whatever they asked. >> cook believes federal authorities are not done yet. >> i believe that the government will charge additional fee. >> one of those people might be who prosecutors refer to as person a. gore says person a would actually deliver the payments to suleiman brown and played a part in putting names on those money orders. names of people who had no idea this illegal activity was going on. meanwhile, cook said this when asked if mayor gray knew what was going on. >> nothing in the statement of defense mentions any participation by mayor gray. >> thomas gore could face time in prison for these charges, but a judge said that prosecutors could recommend a lighter sentence if gore continues to cooperate with fede

mr. gore was a part of that core leadership group that was advising the mayor. >> we're going to be following this closely. this is really hot news. thank you for being here with me. and when we come back, howard has the forecast in just a moment. stay with us. >>> jc, the rain has been cleaning out some of the allergens but the mold spores like it when it's nice and wet. here's the allergy update as we go to break. the tree pollen has dropped off in the low category. molds way up there, over 21,000 grains per cubic meter. we'll have the forecast, talking about the rain threat and heat by the weekend when we return. >>> i've been combing through the day's daily deals, e-mails and retailer websites to find you some deep discounts. here are some of my favorites on this tuesday. best buy's deal of the day pay $80 and get $100 worth of music, movies, tv shows, games, apps and more from apple's itunes. this zeal is good as a -- deal is good as a gift card or digital delivery. there are limited quan

some body other than mr. gore may have directed him to do this, whether it goes all the way to the candidate or another persons in the campaign. we found in our investigation that mr. brooks played a pivotal role in all of this and there may be other people in the campaign itself who might be implicated. it doesn't mean it goes up to the mayor. >> that he pled the 5th, howard brooks does that let him off the hook? >> i don't know he envoked his 5th amendment right in front of the council i don't know what his relationship is with the u.s. attorney whether he is co- operating with them or they are pursuing him or other high level campaign people. >> do other possible campaign violations, do they start to come out now, some pretty damaging evidence or testimony was given by thomas gore yesterday. >> well, you know, there is something apparently, at other times this happened as well. people would give money to a campaign in cash. the law says you can't give more than $25. if people were giving lots of cash and it was

any obsessive and different standards and combined with the results of an examination of over votes mr gore would have won you would think the revelation that the wrong man is sitting in the white house would be front page news instead it was buried in the seventeenth paragraph of a story misleadingly titled study of disputed florida ballots finds justices did not cast the deciding vote the reason why it was buried because nine eleven just happened and the times didn't want to diminish bush's claim to the white house in the middle of a national crisis so the stolen election stood. and now here we are again twelve years later with the republicans trying to steal florida for a second time governor rick scott knows his job and that's to deliver the sunshine state for mitt romney just like jeb bush did for his brother back in two thousand and as the miami herald reports he's doing it by arrogantly kicking democrats off the rolls if eight years of an illegitimate bush presidency should have taught us one thing especially in florida it's hell precious our votes are and how drastically the nation

>> of course, bill, let's get a check on the stock that we will be focusing on with mr. gore man and that is facebook. once again, we're looking at more sellers. the stock is down another 4%. i'll be talking about what went wrong and why it was priced alt $38 a share. how he envisions this story playing out. an exclusive interview coming up on the "closing bell." a lot to talk about. the lead underwriter of facebook. for most investors, it's good rid dance for the month of may. take a look at the major indices. it's been anything but a good month for the bulls. rebecca patterson, cnbc contributor, larry glazer and mary thompson and rick santelli joining us. thank you for joining us. rebecca, let me kick this off with you. a lot of action in asset classes. >> the hope that the imf might come and help spain. i think we're a way from clarity with europe from a long shot. the hope that the calvary is coming back like we saw with the ecb in december and earlier this year, i think central banks in general are helping to limit the downside. i think the bigger question is just what's

. >> mr. gore, what about you? any comment? >> thomas gore left the federal courthouse in d.c. a convicted felon, now facing at least 12 to 18 months in prison. this after the man with a master's degree in social work management helped divert money from the vincent gray campaign to sulaimon brown when gray was trying to unseat incumbent mayor, adrian fenty. >> mayor gray gave me cash and money orders to maintain my campaign for mayor, cover living expenses, and attack then mayor fenty. >> the gray administration hired, then fired sulaimon brown after fenty was defeated in 2010. since then, the new mayor denied brown's allegations. >> can't even imagine engaging in such reprehensible behavior. i know absolutely nothing about any one of my campaign who did that. >> today in federal court, thomas gore for mayor gray confessed he and a second campaign staffer were involved in a scheme to get money to sulaimon brown. sources identified howard brooks to 9news now as that second campaign staffer. here's what we now know. in 2010, thomas gore diverted more than $600 from the gray campa

mr. gore is expected to enter guilty pleas to some or all of these charges and lesli, this is just the beginning. prosecutors have others lined up. >> a lot to come. bruce, thank you. back into the studio. >> thank you, lesli. >> no, i didn't. >> we've got new information tonight on a 9 news investigation we brought you earlier in the year. richard kim, the owner of the town square market in northwest went on trial today for allegedly selling alcohol to a minor. andrea mccarren was in that courtroom. she's live at d.c. superior court. this has been your story from day the first. >> reporter: yeah, we had been following it since december of last year, derek. as you know, and just minutes ago, a 17-year-old high school junior from mcclane, virginia, testified that in february, on february 18 of this year, he went to town square market, bought 30 containers of beer, and a bottle of blueberry vodka from town square market and specifically from store owner, richard kim, who is on trial. the teenage

. >> reporter: you know mr. gore and mr. brooks, any personal feelings even though you can't comment on the race -- i mean, the investigation itself? >> well, i think not. i think i'll just stay with the, what i said before. there is obviously a continuing investigation. it has been for months and i've said pretty much the same thing. >> reporter: the mayor aggressively change the subject with reporters, even taking the microphone to do a mock interview himself. in an exclusive tv interview with nbc 4, the u.s. attorney was all business as he said, he will root out public corruption. >> you said the voters of the district in 2010 had been deceived. pretty strong statement. >> well, it was a strong statement. the conduct here was pretty egregious. we had secret payments, fraudulent filings. it is important that we have the electoral process with integrity and that was violated in 2010. >> we had a filing regarding mr. brooks for one count of having lied to the fbi during the interview. and that's all i can say about that matt

. >> i got to meet you boss last night, mr. gore>> you just sounded like a schoolgirl just then. [ screaming ] >> right in the -- >> yeah governor grandholm too bad about her looks. >> are you referring to the former governor of michigan is a hot dish. >> i'm screaming it from the roof tops. i'll stand on halle berry's coffee table and scream it. i actually put my foot in my mouth. >> what did he say. >> i said good morning, mr. gore. what an honor to meet you. and i couldn't left it at that. but i had to abuse it, i said you know mr. vice president i spent two years on the road with daryle hammond. >> oh. >> i can do a ferocious al gore. >> oh, know. did you do al gore to al gore. >> and he turns to jennifer grandholm, and said what does he mean ferocious. >> i said i can do you really well. >> and he goes you can do me really well? >> oh, know. >> i diddal gore toal gore, and he said that is somewhere between uncanny and canny. >> yeah, he is a funny guy. [ whacky comedy music ] >> he actually runs screaming from me now. he like b

yet when my son asked me in 2002 what would you do if mr. gore, mom, knowing that we supported president bush, i said you support your president. this is what we do in this country, his support supposed to support a prison to get today even today i hear people say well, i'm going to leave the country if this candidate comes in. i'll hang out to listen to your reply. and again thank you for your many, many years of service. i've always enjoyed watching you. >> guest: think you. i also happen to like to make you a lot. it's one of the little secrets of southern california. the fact is that people made those threats and they almost never ever taken out. it's kind of bombast that year and every election cycle. the difference is now that we do, both to the bloggers and talk radio and the other outlets, that we have lowered public discourse i think to a different level. pat leahy, the democratic senator from vermont, has been held for so long, had a republican father, who was a banker in his hometown, anti-removers when fdr came to town and his father

co-founder, chairman of the board, long-time friend of mine, a great american, vice president al gore. mrvice president, good morning. >> hey bill. welcome to current tv. i am so happy that your show is on and doing so great. and good morning, eliot. >> good morning. >> i can't tell you how proud and excited we are to be here, to be part of the term. so we will do our best to carry the flag from 6:00 top 9:00 every morning. >> it's a very exciting and informative show. i am really happy about it. >> you know, i have totel you mr. vice president, you and i have a mutual friend in suzy suzy beull. she sent me an article, global warning close to become can irreversible. what happened? why aren't people talking about it? first of all, i think most scientists would probably not reach that particular conclusion. some are irreversible because we are already raised the temperature of the earth by a degree and more is to come because the heat is stored up in the occasions. we have a good chance to avoid the worst of the impacts that the scientists have been warning us about. your question is reall

mr. brookes' conduct was egregious, he deserves some credit for owning up to his mistake and eventually telling the truth. it's clear, brian, that brookes and gore are helping prosecutors as they continue the case. for example, today, howard brookes, it looks like, many say, could have been charged with other crimes here and that appears he could serve six months only, maybe less if he cooperates with authorities as they continue to pursue this case. >>> a 49-year-old charged with six different burglaries in bethesda. all buildings were broken into and made the connection. the teen suspect was call caught after allegedly stealing an ipad to the house. >>> and you heard of a getaway car. what about a getaway beak? 's suspect rotted off on a bike share bike this week and that victim was talking to a. >> i joy phone and never hit the brakes. the police are still looking for the suspect. >>> and attorney general eric holder attended a graduation ceremony where the honorees were saluted for staying clean and sober, rewarded for completing the strict conditions of drug course. >> reporter: if you have to come to d.c. superior court, chances are it's n

mr. gray ran on a platform of in-ttegrity and it's hypocritic when they were not. >> reporter: howard brooks and thomas gore each pleaded guilty to secretly funding brown part of a wider criminal probe of gray's campaign donations and expenses and a possible shadow campaign. >> let's not minimize what occurred here. it was a deception of the public. it's deceiving the public which is a major crime when you're talking about elections. and the fundamental bedrock of our democracy is having an open and honest election. >> reporter: he says it's possible gray knew or did nothing illegal. but many fenty campaign workers with a like to hear from mayor gray. >> our view is let the u.s. attorney do what he's got to do. we don't though if he's innocent yet. but i do think it's time that the mayor tell us what he knows. >> reporter: in the district, tom sherwood ur, news 4. >>> mayor fenty has never spoken publicly about the gray scandal and mayor gray on vice fradvice counsel has refused to comment. >>> a new type of deit ter geit posing a threat. >> and why an old recording could tie man son as to even more crimes.

that not only thomas brookes but gore has been working with prosecutors as this investigation continues and one more thing, the former states attorney is representing mr. brooks and he said he's going to come out and talk about this in a few minutes and we should have comments for you at 6. >> and thank you, matt ackland. >> where does the case go next? is there sentenceing or anything in between? >> that is the big question. some people say there are others that might be involved behind the scenes, other campaign workers, possibly and some have speculated that possibly somehow mayor gray is connected. at this point, again, we should say he denies all of this and said it many, many times he had no part in this and many people are wondering if he knew about this. back to you. >> thank you, matt ackland. >>> and another big story we're following tonight. the second stomp on d.c. councilman marion barry's apology tour. he met with the asian american loaders to diffuse the fallout from racially charged comments he recently made. bob barnard is in the newsroom with more. bob? >> reporter: you can feel the tension in the air as leaders of the district's afr

mrs. bush and governor bush and jeb, whose life is passing before his eyes in the florida vote count and president bush on the phone in the background, but this was about ten minutes before al gore took back his concession which i just wish i would have heard that phone call but i didn't, so we've read about it, and the obamas. this is inaugural night. i did the official -- produced the official inaugural book for the committee. i also did the two bush books and two clinton books with my team of photographers, and -- and some photos of michelle obama. this is after eight presidential balls. this is also the first ladies will appreciate this. two more balls to go, back stage, and in the elevator. this is a high school prom picture i think, kind of a gallant moment. this is the night of the inaugural. and then six first ladies at the reagan library dedication with pat nixon. i think this was the last public appearance that mrs. nixon made before she died with lady bird, and then at the george bush library opening. this is -- hillary is first lady, and they were all watching the presidents talking and at the ford funeral where president bush and those three first ladies. this was i

gore is now 64 years old but again, still married but back on the scene. player, player, mr.ife moves on. there you go. finding some greener pastures. >> nicely put. >> thank you so much. >>> now to a name that has been in "the skinny" quite a bit lately, mr. john travolta. once again. as you all know, he's been accused and there was a lawsuit that was brought against him where two masseuses said that he behaved inappropriately and they were accusing him of sexual battery. the first one dropped his charges, dropped his attorney and said he wanted to have nothing to do with it. the second one now is doing the same thing. but the attorney for both of them who they were represented by the same person said he didn't understand why they were going to do that. why they wanted to drop the case. as you may remember, tmz had all kinds of photo evidence that john travolta was nowhere near where one of the masseuses claimed these things were happening. but interesting turn of events. superstar attorney, superstar attorney gloria allred has scooped both of those john does up because thei

mr. kennedy on a fine race. >> another vice president finished second in a close race but he did not go away so quietly. it was 2000 bush verses goreoked like a late night narrow victory ended up with him retracting his concession. a month of recounts hundreds of lawyers descending on florida voter fraud intimidation and suppression. multiple legal cases but supreme court ruling that ended the election. >> it got the george w. bush presidency off on the wrong foot and it just never recovered from that. nobody ever likes to lose. but if you feel you have been cheated that's much worse. >> the acorn grew into a massive scandal. you wouldn't want your doctor doing your job. so why are you doing hers? only your doctor can determine if your persistent heartburn is actually something more serious... like acid reflux disease. over time, stomach acid can damage the lining of your esophagus. for many, prescription nexium not only provides 24-hour heartburn relief, but can also help heal acid related erosions in the lining of your esophagus. talk to your doctor about the risk for osteoporosis-related bone fractures and low magnesium levels w
