Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., retired from Congress Tuesday after facing a number of allegations of sexual misconduct.
The 88-year-old congressman called in to a local Detroit radio station from an area hospital to make his announcement.
“I am retiring today, I want everyone to know how much I appreciate the support,” Conyers told Mildred Gaddis, a morning host on Detroit FM-radio station Praise 102.7.
His attorney, Arnold Reed, confirmed Conyers’ retirement was “effective today.”
Conyers added that he wanted his son, John Conyers III, to replace him in Congress.
