Sen. Bob Menendez wore a bullet-proof vest when, as a young lawyer, he testified against a pair of mob figures and city officials in a corruption case in New Jersey. Now, Menendez himself once again stands accused of political corruption.
The influential New Jersey Democrat was indicted Friday by a federal grand jury in New York and charged with corruption for the second time in eight years. Menendez and his wife, Nadine Arslanian Menendez, are accused of accepting bribes, including cash, gold, mortgage payments and a Mercedes-Benz in a case that alleges the senator used his foreign affairs influence for personal gain.

Hope he goes to federal prison
Despicable and disgusting. The American peasantry will see yet again the 2 tiered justice system in this country.
Senator sounds like tRUMP.
CORRUPTION & GREED $$
Greed is an unwholesome desire
A craving to obtain all desired by man.
Caused by gluttonous, ego and conceit
As we eagerly grasp everything we can.
Wealth, fame, power and corruption
Are the trophies of what greed consists of.
A hunger to experience every exotic wish
Overpowering the glory of love.
Twisted by pursuing all, which is wrong
Our compassion becomes self-serving.
We ‘re tormented by mistrust, suspicion and rage
And our downfall as a human is deserving.

His last name is not Biden, likely will have different outcome.

Can I be your biggest fan? Because I am!
Wasn’t there a child molest station alligation apparently they said he didn’t do it but maybe it was just swept under the carpet anyway he has a right to a fair trial and a proper investigation. It absolutely Hass to be that way all right this is Jeff mungai from Kennerdell Pennsylvania
Shut up senator menendez, as an independent it’s never about exorbitant, it’s about getting the functions of goverment going ..you must let other take seat to keep it going.. you can’t be so selfish and causing disruption in works . Go home and face your own case ..
Now do the Biden family!!!!
I grew up in the same town as Menendez (Union City, NJ). He studied politics under our mayor William V. Musto … a man so corrupt that he was re-elected to office while in jail. Where there is smoke …
LOL!! He’s going to get away with it. Just business as usual in DC. Oh… BTW, USA Today is Fake News.
This is Menendez’s second indictment within 6 years. This is indicative of all these politicians – they’re corrupt and we need to keep the pressure on all of these criminals
I look for him to meet a tragic end. Otherwise he'll make a deal to spill the beans on so many others"probably" guilty of same. Who says crime doesn't pay?
Senator Menendez… I firmly believe that I am an old fashion crook….
He’s guilty as sin
Its easy to climb the political ladder but alas you are still dirt poor but hold the most power of anyone. What a dilemma
This guy is no better than a Mod Boss. He clearly has no shame and he's clearly guilty. Pathetic. Another politician who thinks he's above everyone else.
His head looks like Stewie had a baby with Hey Arnold. 😁
How can he explain any of the evidence against him? I read through the indictment like 3 times. He’s screwed.
No-one is above the law including him. It'nt what there are always saying. He did it before and now he is do it the forth time.
