NEWS FLASH

Congressman David Wu Resigns | Rep. David Wu (D-OR) has announced he will resign following allegations that he sexually harassed a teenage girl. Wu has been under pressure from Democratic leaders to resign, who first raised concern about his strange behavior months ago. In a statement, he said, “I cannot care for my family the way I wish while serving in Congress and fighting these very serious allegations.” He will remain, however, until the debt ceiling is raised.
