Now Phil Murphy calling for Menendez to step down

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy called on U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez to resign because of his indictment on federal bribery charges.

“The allegations in the indictment against Senator Menendez and four other defendants are deeply disturbing,” Murphy said about his fellow Democrat Menendez, who is New Jersey’s senior senator.

“These are serious charges that implicate national security and the integrity of our criminal justice system,” said Murphy. “The alleged facts are so serious that they compromise the ability of Senator Menendez to effectively represent the people of our state. Therefore, I am calling for his immediate resignation.”
