Democrat Senator John Fetterman on Saturday called for embattled Democrat Senator Bob Menendez to resign over the bribery and corruption indictment.
Fetterman is the first Democrat US Senator to call for Menendez to resign.
“Senator Menendez should resign,” Fetterman said in a post to X on Saturday.
“He’s entitled to the presumption of innocence, but he cannot continue to wield influence over national policy, especially given the serious and specific nature of the allegations,” he added.
Senator Menendez should resign.
He’s entitled to the presumption of innocence, but he cannot continue to wield influence over national policy, especially given the serious and specific nature of the allegations.
I hope he chooses an honorable exit and focuses on his trial.
