The attorney representing Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., amid allegations of sexual misconduct said Wednesday the congressman has no plans to resign and that his accusers should be prepared to defend their claims, according to a report Wednesday.

Detroit-area lawyer Arnold Reed told the Associated Press the 88-year-old Michigan Democrat will fight all accusations that he behaved inappropriately toward four former female members of his staff.
