The pressure is on for Sen. Bob Menendez to resign from the Senate or potentially face removal.
Minutes after a New Jersey jury found the Democrat guilty Tuesday on charges of bribery, extortion and acting as a foreign agent, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called for him to step down.
“In light of this guilty verdict, Senator Menendez must now do what is right for his constituents, the Senate, and our country, and resign,” Schumer tweeted in response to the verdict.
