all right, pete, thanks. how far will some journalists go for a scoop?ocking allegations against a british tabloid. news of the world. gotten so bad that even the prime minister of great britain has gotten involved. he's calling for an independent inquiry into charges that the paper hacked or tried to hack into the cell phones of murder victims and their families. michele this is disgusting. what's the inquiry going to do? what could the punishment be for this newspaper? >> reporter: that's the exact word that people are using today, disgust, disgraceful, heinous. a little background. this has been an absolute mess for the last couple of years. people have gone to prison for this already. huge settlements paid out in court. news of the world has admitted to and apologized for certain incidents of hacking into the voice mafls celebrities with the help of a private investigator. the problem is that since this broke around 2007 it's only gotten bigger and far worse. it came out recently there could be now thousands of victims of hacking but what has truly o

pete, your take?t's not going to affect michelle bachman at all, because the people who are going to vote for her agree with the hate and venom that she and her husband spread toward gay americans. i think the question is how many closeted gay republicans are going to choose to vote for michelle bachman. the idea that home -- homosexuality is a choice is a joke. >>> how much will money matter in this race? dana? >> well, money obviously money talks in politics and he's got the backing of fciu, fcio, the teachers unions. he's got a lot of money in this, which poses the question, i thought democrats were for the little guy? >> cornell? >> two things. what's wrong with that gay guy who is going to go to michelle bachman's clinic for counseling? that guy is kind of crazy. but here's the thing, 90% of the funding came from small donors under $250,000. no pack money, no lobbyist money. this is a grassroots that he built on in 2008 and continues today. >> pete? >> let's just get this story quickly. i have to

nbc's pete williams is in washington, d.c. what's the judge saying about this trial, pete? >> reporter: well, the judge has said he'll decide at a hearing on september 2nd, almost two months from now, where we go from here. this trial had just started yesterday with opening statements from both sides and the prosecutors had begun calling witnesses, but the judge had told the prosecutors in advance that certain evidence was off-limits and one of the things that was off-limits was related to testimony by a friend and former teammate of roger clemens named andy pettitte who had played with him on two major league teams. andy pettitte has said that roger clemens told him he used human growth hormone. 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

pete williams has more from washington, and pete, how could this mistake have been made, and what happens next for roger clenlbes? >> well, a lot of people are wondering why the government did this when they have been so clearly warned not the play this evidence for the jury. now, the -- remember what this trial is about. clemens is accused of lying about his steroid use when he denied it in a 2008 congressional hearing and one of the witnesses that the government will call is a teammate andy pettitte who will claim that he heard clemens say he used human growth hormone and today, the government played de excerpt from that hearing where a member of congress read out a affidavit statement from the wife of the teammate. and the jury should not hear what the wife had to say because she never talked to clemens. it was played today and the judge heard it, and then stopped the trial and decided to declare a mistrial. tamron, the decision is where to go from here. and the trial is over and the jury is not coming back, so will there be another trial? the judge will make that decision in two month
