Bob Menendez still won't resign, as one Democrat weighs expulsion push

New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, facing federal bribery charges, defiantly told his Senate Democratic colleagues that he will not resign, despite more than half of Democratic senators calling for his resignation.
Menendez denies any wrongdoing and is determined to beat the charges. Despite his remarks, he gained no new allies, further isolating himself as his colleagues and Democratic leaders struggle with how to respond to the indictment.
The uncertainty of Menendez's political future remains, with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer hinting at it by announcing Menendez would speak at Thursday's meeting.
