Lawmakers with connections to Indian Country resign due to sexual harassment

Two lawmakers, one Democrat and one Republican and both with ties to Indian Country, announced their resignations due to sexual harassment allegations.

Sen. Al Franken (D-Minnesota) will be stepping down after several women accused him of harassment. Though the activity in question occurred before he joined Congress, he said he could no longer remain an effective voice for "Native Americans who have been overlooked for far too long."
