Thats right, franken made the announcement from the senate floor this morning. Scott mcgrew joins us with the details. Reporter good morning, this comes after a number of women accused franken of inappropriate contact and inappropriate conduct. Franken says not all of the allegations are true, he had hoped he could stay in office while the Senate Ethics committee investigated, but growing pressure from his own party to leave became so intense, he announced this this morning. Today, i am announcing that in the coming weeks, i will be resigning as member of the United States senate. I of all people are aware that there is some irony in the fact that i am leaving while a man who has bragged on tape about his history of Sexual Assault sits in the oval office, and a man who has repeatedly preyed on young girls campaigns for the senate with a full support of his party. Franken of course talking about these gentlemen, donald trump and roy moore. Trump is by at least 19 women, moore accused of inappropriate contact with underaged girls, including sexual contact with a girl, aged 14 many years ago. Quite a number of republicans, perhaps realizing the democrats have the high road, urge franken not to resign, including former speaker of the house newt gingrich. Heres franken on his future. This has been a tough few weeks for me. But i am a very, very lucky man. I have a beautiful healthy family. That i love and that loves me very much. I am going to be just fine. Franken says hell make his resignation official over the next couple of weeks. Itll then be up to the governor of minnesota to appoint someone to replace franken, we dont know who it will be, but we suspect itll be minnesotas Lieutenant Governor democrat tina smith. Marta kus and laura. Interesting. Thank you, scott. Dance production workering was arrested for allegedly touching two young girls inappropriately in morgan hill.

The teens reporting led to major policy changes in the bay area, affecting nearly 70,000 students and a proposed state law that would require schools to outline when officers should and should not get involved on campus. The series even captured the attention of the Obama Administration which sent a letter to every school in the country, urging educators to stop overrelying on school Police Officers.
