After Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) was indicted for acting as a foreign agent of Egypt while he was the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) called for his expulsion.
Eh, it’s a 2/3rds majority to expel a senator, the evidence in the case is damning, and he skated by on corruption charges before through a hung jury. I don’t think we need to worry about slippery slopes because we don’t wait years for a trial to resolve.
And being expelled from the Senate isn’t a criminal matter, it’s a political one. Senators can be expelled even if they’re not guilty of a crime.
