Calls continue for Sen. Bob Menendez to resign after federal corruption conviction

New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez is refuting reports that he's resigning after his conviction on federal bribery charges earlier this week.

A jury convicted the Democrat of accepting bribes from three New Jersey businessmen and acting as a foreign agent for the Egyptian government.

His term ends in January and he's said he's running for a fourth term as an independent. He's vowed to appeal his conviction.

Gov. Phil Murphy called for Menendez to step down shortly after the verdict was read. He called on the Senate to expel Menendez if he did not leave voluntarily.
