House Democrats had planned for a meeting today to discuss possibly stripping Weiner of his committee responsibilities and powers which would take away much of his legitimacy as a representative, the Times reported. House minority leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi, President Obama and other Democrats have all in one way or another called for Weiner's resignation since he disclosed that he's had Twitter sexting relationships with at least six women over the last few years. His decision came after long discussions with his wife, who serves as an aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Pelosi also called for an ethics inquiry, which is expected to be thrown out if Weiner steps down.
The Times got the scoop after Weiner told his friends of his plans; he hasn't officially announced his resignation.
