Washington, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) released the following statement regarding U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ):
“The charges against Senator Menendez are extremely serious and the details released are deeply disturbing—while Senator Menendez is entitled to his day in court, I believe he should step down and focus on his legal defense. If Senator Menendez refuses to resign, I encourage the Senate Ethics Committee to open an investigation into this, separate from the ongoing criminal case.”
