Today, Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) was found guilty of federal bribery charges that included accepting gold and cash from three New Jersey businessmen and acting as a foreign agent for the government of Egypt. In response, Michael Sozan, senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, issued the following statement:
"Sen. Menendez clearly abused his office, betraying the people of New Jersey and endangering national security. No one is above the law, regardless of party affiliation or elected office. Now that the legal process has played out, he should immediately resign from the Senate. If he refuses to resign, the Senate should expel him."
