Former U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has joined a slew of Democratic lawmakers calling for Sen. Robert Menendez’s resignation, saying “nation will be better served” if the embattled Senator steps aside.
Mr. Menendez, New Jersey Democrat, was indicted Friday on bribery charges. Since the news broke, the Senator has stepped down as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Federal prosecutors in New York charged Mr. Menendez with using his position in the Senate to secretly aid the nation of Egypt, and to provide benefits to a trio of associates — like interfering in criminal investigations — in exchange for money and other financial benefits for himself and his wife, Nadine.
Under New Jersey law, Mr. Murphy would be tasked with picking a replacement for Mr. Menendez should the indictment force him to resign. Mr. Menendez is also running for reelection in 2024.
