Sen. Bob Menendez Faces Growing Pressure From Democrats to Resign

A growing number of Democratic lawmakers and officials are calling on Sen. Bob Menendez to resign, after he was indicted Friday in a sweeping bribery scheme by federal prosecutors. The Manhattan U.S. attorney’s office charged Menendez with accepting cash, gold bars and other benefits in exchange for using his office to enrich three businessmen and aid the Egyptian government. Menendez stepped aside as chairman of the powerful Foreign Relations Committee, but has rejected demands that he quit the Senate.
