Senate President Scutari Calls for Resignation of Senator Menendez

Trenton – Senate President Nick Scutari issued the following statement calling on Senator Menendez to resign:

“Today is a sad day for our state. The allegations laid out in today’s indictment are alarming, and they raise serious questions about the Senator’s ability to continue to serve. I strongly believe that all Americans deserve the presumption of innocence and the ability to fully defend themselves. 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.”
