Sanders leads calls for Trump resignation over 'sexual harassment'
Washington 11 Dec (ANA) - Senator Bernie Sanders and two of his Democratic colleagues have suggested that President Trump should consider resigning, after a run of sexual-harassment scandals has driven out some members of Congress. Senator Al Franken “felt it proper for him to resign,” Sanders said in an interview with NBC's Meet the Press on Sunday morning, referring to the Democrat from Minnesota. “Here you have a president who has been accused by many women of assault, who says on a tape that he assaulted women. He might want to think about doing the same.” Sanders's comment, which built on a tweet he sent last week, came after Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley and Cory Booker suggested that the #MeToo moment should prompt another look at the women who accused Trump of sexual harassment during the 2016 presidential campaign.(ANA)
