investigation of peter king during a fugitive raid. the video in the question shows the congressman, this is it, with marshals. it all came light when the congressman tweeted a link of the video. officials are looking into whether the video violates federal policy that prohibits nonu.s. marshals from filming inside someone's home. we're joined by nick martin, investigative be reporter from the website talking points memo . thank you very much for joining us. so the congressman tweeted out the video and then he attempted to delete it or what happened here?
>> yeah, he actually attempted to delete the video from youtube that he had already put up. and by that time, we had already grabbed the video from youtube and had our own copy of it.
>> who alerted you to the video?
>> his tweet. he put out this tweet a little bit after noon yesterday saying he had been on a ride along with a u.s. marshal service in new york and they had been essentially fugitive hunting.
>> his office released a statement saying he was invited by a u.s. marshal to accompany them to a series of raids and was proud to take part. everything was done in come bloins with their procedure. if that's true, why is this being looked into?
>> that's a good question. area hearing conflicting statements between king's office and what the u.s. marshal service is saying. they say they've never had a policy where they allow people to videotape these raids and videotape especially inside residences on these raids.
>> i was looking at the video. was he being followed by his own camera crew ?
>> yeah, that's another question that we're trying to find out. what is he being followed by his own camera crew , was there some other camera crew there. there was a person with the marshall's service who had actually been part of a tv show that isn't on the air anymore called "manhunters is."
>> steve seagal rides around on one of those programs.
>> he did it. shaquille o'neal has been on ride alongs with police departments . anytime you have a high profile person doing police action with video cameras involved, the chances are good it's going to get unusual.
>> your report also indicates the congressman was wearing a police coat and a badge while on this ride along . the statement say the policy restrictions which prohibit individuals who are not u.s. marshals employees from filming inside a private residence are intended to be in place during all ride alongs. we are currently investigating this matter who determine exactly what happened in this instance.
>> yeah, a criminal defense attorney that i talked to yesterday flagged the fact that he was wearing a police coat and a banl and said you know, that's unusual.
>> do you hear members of congress often doing this in their down time?
>> this is the first i've heard of it. i don't know about you.
>> we'll see what the congressman has to say about this. thank you very much. democrats are gearing up for the
