Minnesota Sen. Al Franken said Thursday he will
resign from Congress in coming weeks following a wave of sexual misconduct allegations and a collapse of support from his Democratic colleagues, a swift political fall for a once-rising Democratic star.
Franken, the former comedian who made his name on "Saturday Night Live," had originally sought to remain in the Senate and
co-operate with an ethics investigation, saying he would work to regain the trust of Minnesotans.
