Sen. John Fetterman on Saturday called on Sen. Menendez to resign following a three-count federal bribery indictment handed down on Friday.
"Those who believe in justice believe in innocence until proven guilty. I intend to continue to fight for the people of New Jersey with the same success I’ve had for the past five decades," he said."This is the same record of success these very same leaders have lauded all along. It is not lost on me how quickly some are rushing to judge a Latino and push him out of his seat. I am not going anywhere," Menendez said on Saturday.
"The excesses of these prosecutors is apparent. They have misrepresented the normal work of a Congressional office. On top of that, not content with making false claims against me, they have attacked my wife for the longstanding friendships she had before she and I even met," Menendez said.
Menendez allegedly gave sensitive U.S. government information to Hana, who's an Egyptian-American businessman, who"secretly aided the Government of Egypt."
