Lawyer: ‘Conyers is not going to resign’

Share:

An attorney for Rep. John Conyers (D-Mich.) says the longtime lawmaker will not resign from his post amid a House Ethics Committee investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct.

“Mr. Conyers is not going to resign,” Conyers’ attorney, Arnold Reed, told CNN on Wednesday.

“If everybody that was facing ‘allegations’ — including the President, members of the House and Senate — resigned, we’d have a lot of unemployed people walking around,” he said, adding that the congressman is taking the allegations against him “very seriously.”

Reed denied the allegations against Conyers, the longest-serving member of the House.
