Embattled Rep. John Conyers was hospitalized Thursday with what a family spokesman called a stress-related illness amid accusations that the 88-year-old sexually harassed several women who worked for him and growing calls for his resignation, according to multiple reports.
Political consultant and family friend Sam Riddle told reporters that Conyers was hospitalized due to stress, WDIV reported.
