WASHINGTON, D.C.-Sen. Bob Menendez was convicted on July 16 on all counts in his corruption trial, including accepting bribes and acting as a foreign agent for the Egyptian government.
After his conviction was announced, Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) released the following statement:
“Nearly a year ago, I called on Senator Menendez to resign—now that he’s been found guilty on all counts, I strongly reiterate my call for him to step down. No one is above the law—it’s pretty straightforward. Now if only my Republican colleagues would apply the same standards to the convicted felon who is running for President of the United States as their nominee.”
