Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., has been indicted and charged with corruption for the second time in 10 years, this time along with his wife for allegedly accepting bribes including cash, gold, mortgage payments and a Mercedes-Benz.

Menendez and his wife, Nadine Arslanian Menendez, were indicted with three New Jersey businessmen and accused of a “corrupt relationship,” according to federal prosecutors in New York.

“The senator and his wife accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for Sen. Menendez using his power and influence to protect and to enrich those businessmen and to benefit the government of Egypt,” said Damian Williams, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

  1. Your fault America – You all have lowered the standard of character in these politicians. Nancy Pelosi Stated, “We are all Socialists now” How is that American style socialismcommunism working for everyone? If you do not believe Pelosi made that statement, ask her yourself.

  2. Why can't we run up & ask: Are you a cannibal?

  3. Politics is the noble art of winning votes from the poor and campaign money from the rich by promising to protect one from the other.

  4. What a traitor. He's like pathological liar trump. Some people will do anything for money. Money hungry gold digger.

  5. With a clean criminal record now they let me go back inside in my own studio. 😅😂

  6. When the FBI & DOJ have taken a particular interest in you; you're toasted!
    DOJ, FBI and IRS are most feared US agencies.

  7. Funny, when it's a Democrat, the headline states just "Senator"… If it's a Republican, that would be the lead 😂
