Franken resigns from Senate after sexual misconduct claims
Minnesota Senator Al Franken announced he will resign in coming weeks amid a wave of sexual misconduct allegations and dwindling Democratic support. He defended his conduct at times, apologized, and said he cannot both cooperate with an ethics probe and serve Minnesotans. Governor Dayton will appoint a temporary replacement, with a 2018 special election to fill the seat through 2021.
