House Democratic leaders and the head of a powerful liberal super PAC called on Rep. John Conyers Jr. (D-Mich.) to resign Thursday, increasing pressure on the veteran lawmaker to leave office amid multiple allegations that he sexually harassed female aides.
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), third-ranking Democrat Rep. James E. Clyburn (S.C.), fourth-ranking Democrat Rep. Joseph Crowley (N.Y.) and Priorities USA Chairman Guy Cecil said the 88-year-old lawmaker must step down, after one of his accusers detailed her experience on national television.
