Sen. Bob Menendez set to appear in federal court for bribery case as lawmakers pressure him to resign
Fox News
U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., will head to court for the first time since an indictment was unsealed Friday detailing bribery and corruption charges.
Menendez, 69, has remained defiant to resign from the U.S. Senate amid a growing chorus of colleagues on both sides of the proverbial aisle, including New Jersey’s junior Senator Cory Booker. Instead, Menendez maintains his innocence against the allegations and has said he's confident he will be exonerated.
Immediately after the indictment was brought last week, Menendez stepped down as chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee.
