PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Congressman David Wu, who earlier this year apologized for bizarre behavior during his most recent re-election campaign, was facing calls for his resignation on Saturday over yet another crisis — a young woman’s reported accusation that she had an “unwanted sexual encounter” with the Democrat three weeks after his election victory in November.
A source close to Wu told The Associated Press the seven-term Democrat was planning to meet with congressional leaders in Washington, D.C., on Saturday to discuss the allegation, which was reported by The Oregonian newspaper.
