Two congressmen among fellow Democrats urging New Jersey senator to step down after he pleaded not guilty to 13 counts
Several Democrats including his own state governor are calling on their fellow party member Robert Menendez to resign after federal authorities charged the New Jersey US senator and his wife with accepting bribes.
Authorities on Friday revealed charges alleging that Robert and Nadine Menendez illegally accepted gold bars, cash, a luxurious Mercedez-Benz car and other gifts in exchange for favors benefiting three businessmen as well as influencing the Egyptian government.
