Murphy's statement echoed those of earlier Democratic figures who had called on him to resign, acknowledging that everyone is innocent until proven guilty but stressing the seriousness of the charges. He demanded that Menendez resign from his position immediately."The allegations in the indictment against Senator Menendez and four other defendants are deeply disturbing," Murphy said in a statement posted on the governor's website.
Murphy is one of the most prominent figures to call for Menendez's resignation so far. He joined New Jersey officials at the state level, Rep. Andy Kim , Rep. Dean Phillips , and former Attorney General Eric Holder in his calls for the senator to resign.
