Wu Announces Resignation from Congress

Oregon Congressman David Wu has announced his resignation. He was facing an ethics investigation over accusations he had a sexual encounter with an 18 year old daughter of a campaign donor. Wu had said, whatever had happened was consensual. Wu said that the well-being of his children should come first, so he’ll resign after Congress resolved the debate over the debt ceiling. Wu has been in office for seven terms. In 2004, he won, despite acknowledging a decades-old college incident, where he tried to force a former girlfriend to have sex. Voter’s said they disliked an opponents’ attempt to use that against Wu as a political campaign.
