Sen. Cory Booker Calls for Sen. Robert Menendez to Resign Following Bribery Indictment

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) has called for Sen. Robert Menendez (D-N.J.) to resign following his indictment on bribery charges, which include taking $100,000 in gold bars and $480,000 in cash in exchange for official acts. The indictment also alleges Menendez held secret meetings with Egyptian military and intelligence officials, providing them with sensitive information and assistance. Other Democratic senators have joined Booker in calling for Menendez's resignation, though it remains to be seen if he will heed the call.
