Menendez defiant as growing chorus of Democrats call for his resignation
Fox News
New Jersey and national Democrats are piling on Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and calling for him to resign after his federal indictment on bribery charges.
"These are serious charges that implicate national security and the integrity of our criminal justice system. Murphy said Friday. The governor emphasized that Menendez is innocent until proven guilty, but said "the alleged facts are so serious that they compromise the ability of Senator Menendez to effectively represent the people of our state. Therefore, I am calling for his immediate resignation." Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital. Send tips to chris.pandolfo@fox.com and follow him on Twitter @ChrisCPandolfo.
