Assuming there’s nothing more to this, not sure why this requires resignation unless there was some implied pressure in this.
Via Daily Caller:
GOP Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona announced that he will resign from his seat after reportedly asking two of his female staffers to be surrogates.
“I have always tried to create a very warm and supportive atmosphere for every last person who has ever worked in my congressional office,” Franks said in a statement Thursday. “It is my deepest conviction that there are many staffers, former and present, who readily volunteer to substantiate this fact.”
