New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy calls on Sen. Bob Menendez to resign after bribery indictment

New Jersey Senator Menendez is facing serious charges that implicate national security and the integrity of the criminal justice system. Governor Murphy has called for his resignation, stating that the alleged facts compromise Menendez's ability to effectively represent the people of the state.
Members of the New Jersey delegation, including Democratic Reps. Kim and Sherrill, have also called for Menendez to step down, expressing concerns over the allegations and the impact on the state. They believe that if the allegations are proven true, there is no room for such conduct in public service.
New Jersey General Assembly Speaker Craig Coughlin echoed the sentiment, stating that the charges against Menendez go against the trust placed in public servants and that he should resign.
