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.
