Sen. John Fetterman (D‑PA) called on Sen. Bob Menendez (D‑NJ) to resign from the U.S. Senate on Saturday after Menendez was indicted on federal corruption charges late this week.
“Senator Menendez should resign,” Fetterman wrote on X. “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,” he added.
