Rep. George Santos (R-N.Y.) has spoken out in defense of Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), insisting the senator who was recently charged with bribery should not feel compelled to resign unless he is found guilty in a court of law.
Mr. Menendez and his wife, Nadine Menendez, were charged last week with accepting bribes from three New Jersey businessmen in exchange for using their position to protect these three businessmen and benefit the government of Egypt. Since being charged, Mr. Menendez has relinquished his chairmanship in the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee but he has refused to resign his senate seat.
