 Governor Phil Murphy, Democrat of New Jersey, putting out a statement reiterating his call for Sen. Menendez to resign and writing today's verdict, finding Senator Bob Menendez guilty on 16 counts, demonstrates that the senator broke the law, violated the trust of his constituents, and betrayed his oath of office in America. Everyone, no matter how powerful, is accountable to our laws. That was a statement from Governor Murphy. Senator John Thune, Republican from South Dakota, the minority, wins.
