WASHINGTON — Texas Democrats in Congress began calling for Sen. Bob Menendez to resign Tuesday after the New Jersey Democrat’s recent corruption indictment.
“He absolutely deserves the full extent of due process as anyone accused of a crime does, but I’m a big believer in preserving the integrity of our institution and making sure that we do everything possible not to lose the public’s trust,” U.S. Rep. Veronica Escobar, D-El Paso, said Tuesday night in a brief interview. “I do believe he should step down.”
