Political commentator Ana Navarro told CNN on Tuesday that Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., won't resign even if every other member of the Senate calls for him to step down following his indictment on bribery charges.
"Whether I think he should or not, I think there's a moot point because I don't think he … will," Navarro said. "I think 99 senators will come out and ask him to resign and he wouldn't."
"Cory Booker stood by Menendez in the last indictment," Navarro said, "the last file proceedings, testified, was a character witness for Menendez and I know that they have a very strong bond." Navarro also noted that "Being in the Senate allows him to continue fundraising and having a legal defense fund that becomes much more difficult if you resign."
