Second Dem Senator Calls For Menendez To Resign

The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports:

U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown on Monday joined calls for the resignation of his Democratic U.S. Senate colleague Bob Menendez of New Jersey, who has been indicted on bribery charges that allege he used his post on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for personal gain.

“Senator Menendez has broken the public trust and should resign from the U.S. Senate,” said a single-sentence statement from Brown, who also called for Minnesota Democratic Sen. Al Franken to resign in 2017 when he was accused of sexual harassment.

Brown – who chairs the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs where Menendez is a senior member – is the second Democratic U.S. senator to call for his resignation, joining U.S. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania.
