Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) said Friday he won’t resign from the Senate despite mounting calls from fellow Democrats for him to do so over an indictment on bribery charges. However, he has stepped aside from his leading role on the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
On Friday, amid mounting calls for his resignation, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) announced that Mr. Menendez will step aside from his chairmanship on the Senate Foreign Relations panel.
