BREAKING: Former Representative John Conyers Jr. of Michigan has died at 90. I just spoke with his son, John Conyers III who told me his father passed away in his sleep. Rep. Conyers represented the Detroit area for more than five decades before resigning in 2017.

Conyers was the longest-serving member of Congress before resigning in 2017 amid concerns for his health and allegations that he sexually harassed several women who worked for him.
“My legacy can’t be compromised or diminished in any way by what we’re going through now,” Conyers said. “This too shall pass. My legacy will continue through my children.”
