One of the women who accused Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., of sexual assault said she wanted the senator to more fully address the allegations against him during his speech Thursday announcing his resignation from the Senate, while another woman said his resignation gave her “validation.”
Lindsay Menz accused Franken of sexual assault, saying the Minnesota Democrat grabbed her butt while they were posing for a photo at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010, while he was a senator.
“I definitely wanted more answers today,” Menz told ABC’s “Nightline,” in reaction to Franken’s announcement. “I expected for him to come and share the truth, share what he had experienced, you know, give us some sort of resolve to the situation, and I don’t feel like there was resolve to the situation today.”
In his resignation speech on the Senate floor, Franken did not admit wrongdoing and said some of the allegations made against him aren’t true, while others involve incidents he remembers differently.
