“The fact pattern on him is far more damning than the fact pattern on Al Franken,” he added.

Merkley also said that Trump should resign during the daily version of “Meet The Press” last week.

“The president should resign because he certainly has a track record with more than 17 women of horrific conduct,” he said.

More than a dozen women accused Trump of sexual misconduct during his presidential campaign last year.

Former Fox News host Juliet Huddy said Friday that Trump tried to kiss her on the lips in a Trump Tower elevator more than a decade ago.

She said she “didn’t feel threatened,” but was “surprised” by Trump’s move.
