| Description | Defiant and dug in, Rep. David Wu said late Sunday that he would not resign, declaring instead that he will complete his term and then retire from Congress in 2012.
The surprising decision came one day after senior Democratic leaders urged the seven-term Democrat to resign quickly after reports that he was accused of an unwanted and aggressive sexual encounter with a young woman last November.
Wu did not issue a formal statement or appear in public on Sunday. A senior Democratic official confirmed for The Oregonian that Wu had made the decision. |
