Fox News
Rep. Dean Phillips was the first House Democrat to call on colleague Rep. Henry Cuellar, also a Democrat, to resign after his bribery and conspiracy indictment Friday.
Menendez, also a Democrat, faces obstruction of justice charges connected to bribery allegations. Former President Trump is on trial for alleged hush money payments he made before the 2016 election.
The Department of Justice indicted Cuellar and his wife Imelda on conspiracy and bribery charges Friday for $600,000 in bribes they allegedly accepted between 2014 and 2021 from an Azerbaijan-based energy company and a bank in Mexico City to advance the former Soviet republic's interests in the U.S.
