Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) is expected to force a vote on a resolution next week that would ban lawmakers who are indicted on national security matters from attending classified briefings.

The legislation is a response to Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), who was indicted on federal bribery charges in September last year. The Pennsylvania senator has been one of Menendez’s most vocal critics.

“We should have chucked that sleazeball long ago,” Fetterman told CNN of Menendez on Friday. “But now, we’re looking to move my resolution to the floor, and I’m going to call on unanimous consent so we can stop any senator that is being accused of being a foreign agent attending classified briefings.”

Democrats had been slow to criticize Menendez when he was indicted on federal bribery charges, but Fetterman was the first Democratic senator to call for Menendez to resign.
