Rep. Trent Franks to resign from Congress
And here is the next one to fall.
"Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) is resigning from Congress, according to two Arizona Republicans with knowledge of the decision.
One source said Franks would resign in the face of what the source described as forthcoming claims of inappropriate behavior.
Franks was mobbed by reporters as he left the House floor on Thursday evening but did not respond to questions.
"I'll let the statement speak for itself," he said.
As the news of his resignation broke, fellow Republicans approached Franks on the House floor, all stone-faced.
Several fellow conservatives sat with Franks, bent their heads and prayed.
Franks represents a safe GOP district northwest of Phoenix.
Arizona Republicans say if and when Gov. Doug Ducey (R) calls a special election, as many as a dozen serious candidates could emerge.".
