Senate Leaders Mum on Expulsion Vote for Menendez Amid Trial

Schumer and McConnell refuse to comment on potential Senate expulsion as Menendez faces serious charges.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell both avoided commenting on a potential expulsion vote for Sen. Bob Menendez if convicted.
Menendez faces charges of bribery, obstruction of justice, and acting as a foreign agent for Egypt and Qatar.
The trial has started in New York City with jury selection completed.
Most Senate Democrats have called for Menendez to resign, but he remains defiant, insisting on his innocence.
If convicted, Menendez could theoretically continue to serve in the Senate, though expulsion would likely follow.
