what do people think back in his district?

We have just witnessed an extraordinary scene on the streets of New York. It happened just a few minutes ago, Representative Anthony Weiner -- it's not the video you're seeing there, but we'll show it to you in a moment -- he stepped out just to run a few errands and he was bombarded by reporters, including our own Jason Carroll, and surprised to see him step out this morning.

Also surprising that many of his supporters were following him along as well and were really emphatic in their support. We will check in with our Jason Carroll in just a moment. We are getting that video turned around for you and you will hear from some of those supporters on the streets who want their representative to be left alone. That's coming up in a live report in just a moment.

Also, out in Arizona firefighters keep battling the flames, but the weather is not helping. Conditions that have been helpful over the past day or so have now taken a turn for the worst. It will not help them in an effort to get this large fire under control.

Also today, court is in session in the Casey Anthony trial. She's accused, as you know, of killing her young daughter. Now from gruesome photos to people fighting to get inside the courtroom. Court is in session, yes, on this Saturday morning.

From the CNN Center this, is your CNN SATURDAY MORNING. I'm T.J. Holmes. Thank you for spending part of your day with us.

It was the next revelation, the next twist in the Anthony Weiner scandal. A teenage girl has received messages from the congressman. Multiple reports say this girl is 17-years-old. As you know, representative Weiner has admitted sending lewd photos to women he met online, but his representative saying that the girl in particular, now this teenager did not get any of those kinds of messages.

This is a statement that was released from a spokesperson from congressman Weiner and says, and I quote, "According to Congressman Weiner, his communications with this person were neither explicit nor indecent."

We actually just heard that as well from Congressman Anthony Weiner who again is in New York and stepped out to the street and looked like he was running errands and he was followed by reporters. And he, again, to answer a question from our Jason Carroll, said no, nothing was indecent that went to this young woman.

Delaware police say detectives interviewed the girl, but she did not say anything about inappropriate contact between her and the congressman. Congressman Weiner could be facing a house ethics investigation and something he said he's not afraid of and he also says he's not stepping down.

So what do people think back in his district? CNN's Jason Carroll is with me now.

Jason, hello, I was watching as this video that you had just a few minutes ago was feeding into us, but the congressman stepped out. What was he doing this morning? It looked like he was just running a few errands, but the media was there, you were there and his supporters were there with a message for you all as well.

JASON CARROLL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Everyone there in place. I have to say it was somewhat unexpected. That's why we were here. Congressman Weiner came out and went to the ATM. In addition to the ATM went over to pick up some of his laundry. So he was out just doing what he normally does, running errands. I want you to listen, though, to what he had to say when he was questioned about a number of issues.
