Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said he was “disappointed” in Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) after the senator and his wife were charged with new obstruction allegations and charges in a superseding indictment Tuesday but did not call on him to resign or give up any privileges on critical Senate panels.
“The Senate has certain standards that we must live up to, and I’m very disappointed that Sen. Menendez has not lived up to those standards,” Schumer said, responding to a question during a weekly press conference on Wednesday about whether Menendez should resign from his seat.
