Al Franken tells New Yorker he regrets resigning: 'Oh, yeah. Absolutely.'

Former Sen. Al Franken, who resigned in late 2017 after multiple women accused him of unwanted touching or kissing, received a measure of redemption Monday with the release of a lengthy and much talked about article in the New Yorker magazine that questions the severity and circumstances of the allegations.

Seven current and former senators told reporter Jane Mayer that they regret calling for Franken's resignation, among them former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp of North Dakota and Sen. Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, both Democrats.
