Description | WASHINGTON — NBC News has confirmed that Democratic Rep. David Wu of Oregon is resigning in the aftermath of allegations that he had a sexual encounter with an 18-year-old woman.
The congressman had been pressured to step down after the House Democratic leader sought an investigation into the woman's claims that the interaction was unwanted.
Wu, 56, a seven-term Democrat from Portland whose unusual behavior had been the subject of news stories earlier in the year, has said the encounter was consensual. |
