U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez issued fiery retort: 'I'm not going anywhere.'
“The allegations in the indictment against Senator Menendez and four other defendants are deeply disturbing,” Murphy said in a statement. “These are serious charges that implicate national security and the integrity of our criminal justice system.
“Those who believe in justice believe in innocence until proven guilty,” his statement said. “I intend to continue to fight for the people of New Jersey with the same success I’ve had for the past five decades. This is the same record of success these very same leaders have lauded all along. It is not lost on me how quickly some are rushing to judge a Latino and push him out of his seat.”
Declaring it to be “a sad day for our state,” Scutari said: “Due to the severity of the charges brought against him today, I believe Senator Menendez must resign from office to pursue his defense and allow our state and our nation to move forward.” This time, party leaders are weighing their options in a far more partisan landscape in America, and they are wary of enduring another trial and the negative publicity that follows, sources told NJ Advance Media.
