Al Franken is scheduled to deliver a speech from the Senate floor at 10:45 a.m. central Thursday. The avalanche of pleas from Democratic senators asking Franken to step down began on Twitter Wednesday following another accusation of sexual harassment.
Franken’s new accuser, who was working as a Democratic congressional aide, told Politico that he approached her when her boss left the radio studio and she was gathering her belongings to follow him out. She turned around to see Franken in her face and ducked to avoid him planting a kiss on her.
In a statement to Politico, Franken fervently denied the allegation, saying: “This allegation is categorically not true, and the idea that I would claim this as my right as an entertainer is preposterous.”
