Category: Politics

Sen. Bob Menendez faces pressure to resign or be expelled from the Senate following his conviction on federal corruption charges, including bribery and extortion. Key Democratic leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Cory Booker, have called for his resignation, while the Senate Ethics Committee has initiated a review of his conduct. The potential expulsion would mark a historic move for the Senate, which has rarely expelled members in its history.
