Senator Majority Leader Chuck Schumer refrained from calling for Sen. Bob Menendez's resignation amid federal corruption and bribery charges Wednesday.
Schumer said he was "deeply disappointed" and "disturbed" when he read the indictment, which detailed repeated actions by Menendez to benefit Egypt, despite U.S. government misgivings over the country’s human rights record that in recent years has prompted Congress to attach restrictions on aid.

"Look, I've known Sen. Menendez a very long time. And it was truly, truly upsetting. But we all know that senators, for senators there's a much, much higher standard and clearly when you read the indictment, Sen. Menendez fell way, way below that standard," he said.
