the media today. instead, his attorney fred cook told fox 5 that brown could talk after his court hearings tomorrow. he has two of them, one in federal court and another in superior court. the most recent charge foiled against brown this morning goes back four years and involves one of brown's family members. his parking spot behind the wilson building opened. his office upstairs, closed up tight. kwame brown's name was removed here after his resignation letter was received. >> excuse me. >> reporter: with a smile on his face, brown left his office swarmed by the media. after federal authorities announced brown was charged with felony bank fraud. >> i don't have a comment, i don't have a comment. >> reporter: this morning, still no comment and even more bad news for brown. the former chairman is also charged with one count of unlawful cash campaign expenditure. prosecutors allege the brown campaign set up a side account with mean from his 2008 campaign. and authorized a family member

to make withdrawals. >> it was shocking to me. to hear that news. >> reporter: council member yvette alexearned was overcome by emotions and left the private meeting among council members on wednesday. when brown said he would resign. we're told that many were worried about brown and his family. >> what it all boils down to is we're ex-- elected officials and we're human first, you know, and we do have a life outside of what we do in city hall. >> i am sorry to see what happened to my friend, and i hope you and your family are go -- he and his family are going to be fine. >> reporter: it's been a rough first week for mc. duffy. he became a council member because his predecessor, harry thomas jr. resigned before pleading guilty to two felonies. >> i was elected by residents of ward 5 with the mandate to restore integritiy to this society. since i have been sworn, i have been trying to do that. >> reporter: the big talk around the wilson building now, who will replace chairman brown until an election can be called. remember, mary chay is the acting chair until next wednesday and she will call for a full vote by the council

before at-large council members will be considered. coming up at 6, we'll tell you about the politicking going on behind the scenes for that temporary chairman seat, laura. >> matt, curious, in the meantime, what has happened to kwame brown's staff? >> reporter: well, all of them were terminated when he gave his resignation, but it's likely that many will be hired back by the acting chair of the council, mary chay. the spokesperson told me that she was in the process of figuring things out, which employees will be rehired and which ones won't return, laura? >> all right, matt ackland, thank you for bringing this up to date. matt. >> uh-huh. this is an embarrassing chapter in a difficult time for the d.c. council. a former council member is headed to prison. the former council chair facing several charges and d.c.'s mayor is dealing with his own federal investigation. today, mayor vincent gray spoke outal about all of this. karen gray houston has more. >> reporter: mayor gray has been under a cloud, you know, since he took office.

it started after brown was fired and started talking, accusing the mayor's campaign of giving him money to bash then-mayor fenty at campaign debates. gray's answer to questions about the scandal has been that he won't comment on an ongoing investigation. despite the turmoil on the couple, the mayor is going about his daily business as if nothing happened. we found him at the wilson building in a swearing-in ceremony. the board members of the new corrections information council set up to monitor the conditions of d.c. residents in prisons around the country. two of gray a campaign aides pleaded guilty to election violations. thomas gore and howard brooks. the mayor insists he was unaware of any wrongdoing. today, he told us he didn't know much about kwame brown's latest criminal charge. we asked if he thought he might be next. >> l i think this -- well, i think this is an investigation. we knew it was going on and expect it to unfold.

i suspect they doing it in the way they conduct investigations in, whatever methodical manner is. >> reporter: are you nervous about what could happen next? >> i'm going to doing my job every day. >> well, the mayor said that he's doing a good job, if he must say so him. he said homicides are down, unemployment is down, he had a $240 million surplus at then of the first year in office; however, you want to judge him as a mayor and the city is operating l he said. -- operating well, he said. >> interesting, he didn't answer your question, karen. >> i'll keep asking. >> the big question, what impact will all of the scandals have on the district's push for statehood? james jones, thank you for being here. >> reporter: great to be here. >> first harry thomas jr. and two of mayor gray's campaign ads and now kwame brown and the investigation into the mayor is not over. is the scandal-plagued d.c. government hurting the district's case for statehood and budget autonomy? >> first off, of course it's a

tragic time for the district and it's a time that we are going have to get through. as you mentioned, the council's moving forward and the government is still operating. frankly, those on capitol hill who have started talking about this, this situation and how it might affect the districts efforts to get self- determination and budget autonomy are simply offbase. the district is not the only municipality, the only state in the country to experience this. the -- . >> yes, but it's one of the few municipalities where congress has oversighted the way it does. in an article in the "washington post," there is a quote for a spokesperson for house oversight and government reform committee chair darrell issa, who we sudden very supportive. and the spokesman said the case against brown has, quote, the potential to complicate the efforts. these are serious accusations and resolve -- solving the situation quickly, it's critical to minimizeing damage to initiatives. has too much damage been done?

>> we live in america and in the district, our americans have the same rights as other americans. this issue is not about kwame brown. it's about the district, i'm sorry, it's about the congress deciding whether the district has earned the right to have a vote in congress. no other state is going be subject to this. we have had two governors of illinois. we have had multiple congressmen resign. there was never any discussion at all about whether the people of those states or those municipalities were going to lose their rights to a vote in congress or any of their self- determination rights. the fact of the matter is we can't have congress deciding who has earned the rights or who should have the rights withdrawn. >> i don't think i agree with you on that matter, but the issue is do you think what the damage that we have seen on d.c. council is hurting this effort? >> well, there are always going to be people on the hill opposing the district of columbia. we're going to forge ahead because there is no rationale

reason for the congress to say because you're public officials -- your public officials have been involved in personal problems that that means that we're going to have to pull back on your fundamental rights as americans. >> how do you feel, how do you move forward? >> we just continue to move forward and we believe that there is great momentum on budget autonomy. our city, it's -- if we're being judged as a city and how we're performing, let's look beyond what our public officials have done and have been involved in and look at the fact that we're a great operating city and have a great budget. we do not rely, we should not rely, as americans, on people in congress who we did not elect to tell us whether we are going to have rights or not. is it going to be tougher to make the argument? i don't think so. you may have other people coming out who are opponents of the district and don't want the people of the district to have the same rights as other americans. they may be emboldened to do things, but we're going to continue to push ahead. we think these relationships are going to continue to be good, and we're going to continue to push for full budget autonomy and a vote in

congress. >> i know the people of d.c. hope that you're right and that congress is not just paying attention to what is going on in d.c. city hall. james jones, communications director for d.c. vote, thank you very much for coming in. >> thank you. on to the race for the white house. analysts compare the fund raising totals for president obama and mitt romney, the two candidates are on the road taking in more cash and talking up more supporters. the economy, along with today's labor department report, provided a backdrop for both sides to make their political points. fox's craig bosswell reports. >> reporter: president obama wrapped up a two-day west coast trip with a stop in nevada. the campus visit is a chance for the president to urge congress to stop the scheduled july doubling of student loan interest rates as well as to comment on the economy. >> when so many people are pounding the pavement, sending out resumes, so many families are doing what it takes to pay the bills, congress can't sit on their hands. >> that's right. >> so my message to congress is: let's get to work.

>> reporter: the president spent much of the trip raising money in california. mr. obama, along with the democratic national committee, raised roughly $60 million in may. the romney camp did better than that with $77 million. it's the first time the presumed republican nominee outraised his opponent. >> there is something fundamentally wrong when there are over 23 million americans who are unemployed, underemployed or have stopped looking for work. yet, the president tells us he's doing a great job. >> reporter: romney's stop in missouri comes as the labor department said the weekly jobless claims dropped slightly last week to a seasonably adjusted 377,000. >> last week's job numbers are more evidence that president obama's economic policies are standing in the way of real economic growth. >> reporter: economists say when claims dropped below 375,000, hiring is usually strong enough to drop the overall unemployment rate. >> democrats have a simple request, simple request to our republican colleagues. don't run out the clock on the economy.

>> reporter: the house is scheduled to be in recess next week. there are now 151 days until the november general election. in washington, craig bosswell, fox news. lawmakers who oversee the intelligence agencies in both houses are calling into an investigation into leaks that they say endanger the nation. the chairman of the house republican committee, mike rogers of michigan, claims the obama administration led a reporter into a classified briefing. rogers is going beyond senator mccain's charge that the white house is leaking intelligence to support president obama's re- election campaign. >> there is a clear need for a formal investigation. the committee has material suggesting the agencies were directed to expand the scope of classified information they gave to the press. >> this has to stop. when people say they don't want to work with the united states because they can't trust us to keep a secret, that is serious. >> the white house is denying the claim saying any claim of locations for political gain is

grossly irresponsible. two state department officials testified at the protrial hearing for private bradley manning. he's accused of passing hundreds of thousands of classified documents to the website wikileaks. ren britt jenkinser testified the agency took extraordinary steps to limit the damage to u.s.-foreign relations and worked around the clock for three weeks to get ahead of the problem before the material was published. manning was charged with 22 counts, including aiding the enemy. unarmed united nations monitors investigating a massacre in syria came under fire themselves. the u.n. secretary-general said that the monitors were shot at as they try to get to the scene and then they were denied access. activists are accusing government forces of shooting 80 people, some of them children and burning them in their homes. this comes weeks after more than 100 people were killed. the secretary of state hillary clinton calls the violence unconscionable and she is blaming the syrian president for the crackdown. and coming up on the news at 5, violence erupts at a

colder there and cooler there. the shower and thunderstorm is possible and scattered about at 7:00, 77 degrees or so. a lingering shower left over by 9:00 and everything is going to wane by then and that temperature is 73 degrees or so and cooler in town. certainly by 10, 11:00, and that is mostly fair and could be a sprinkle here or there and we're still and this is a persistent pattern. the trough of low pressure and in the afternoon, the showers and thunderstorms build up and that piece of energy is moving around, the broad area of low pressure that encompassed the north and east and that is why we're getting coverage of the rain and thunderstorms across most of pennsylvania. again, this will come on through and we'll have that this evening and that will dissipate again. all starts to dissipate after sunset and that looks like the

high pressure finally starts to build in and that will start tomorrow and we'll push the whole trough out of here and we won't have this tomorrow afternoon and evening and that is looking drier. the scattered evening showers and thunderstorms, a possibility and that will be a dry overnight. the temperature in up to, another comfortable low to about 61 degrees. and 50s again in the suburbs and winds out of the northwest at 50 miles an hour and 80 at noontime and 4:00 and any showers tomorrow afternoon, it will be isolateed and spotty and i'm not going to worry about it n. line for the weekend warm-up, 88 on saturday and with that 91 on sunday and not talking oppressive humidity by any means. cool or monday, and 89 degrees and an isolated thunderstorm each day this weekend and that

is looking like it's dry and hot. >> thank you, gary. >> okay. doing it. fun. >> the opposite out west, severe weather pounded southern colorado with rain and hail last night. because of the slow pace of the storm, several areas throughout denver saw major flooding. as a result, a handful of major roadways were forced to shut down and no reports of serious damage or injury. check this out, an entire fishing dock ripped loose in the devastating tsunami in japan and were washed up in oregon. the dock is 65 feet long and waveways about 165 -- weighs 165 tons, drifted 5,000 miles across the pacific ocean. the dock has a plaque on it and confirms that it's debris from japan. >> up on the top of it. those are all big rubber wheels with stainless steel and that is shiny as a mirror and everything is rusted out.
