BOISE, Idaho - Idaho Republican Sen. Larry Craig will announce Saturday he will resign from the Senate amid a furor by his arrest and guilty plea in a police sex sting in an airport men’s room, Republican officials said Friday.

Craig will hold a news conference at 10:30 a.m. MT and say that he will resign effective Sept. 30, three

state GOP officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity.

The announcement chases by just five days the disclosure that he had pleaded guilty Aug. 1 to a reduced misdemeanor charge arising out of his arrest June 11 at the Minneapolis airport.
