Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is calling on fellow New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez to resign
Sen. Bob Menendez speaks during a press conference on Monday, Sept. 25, 2023, in Union City, N.J. Menendez and his wife have been indicted on charges of bribery. WASHINGTON — — Democratic Sen. Cory Booker is calling on Sen. Bob Menendez to resign, saying in a statement that the federal bribery charges unveiled on Friday against his fellow New Jersey Democrat contain ”shocking allegations of corruption and specific, disturbing details of wrongdoing.
Menendez has so far been defiant in the face of criticism from his colleagues, as he did after he first faced federal bribery charges eight years ago -- a case that ended with a deadlocked jury. He has again stepped down as chairman of the Foreign Affairs panel, as per Senate Democratic caucus rules, but has otherwise made clear that he’s not going anywhere.
Booker said it is a “mistake” for Menendez to say that stepping down would be unfair as the case has not been tried.
