Additional charges have been leveled against Sen. Bob Menendez, who was indicted last month on allegations of corruption and bribery.
A superseding indictment, unsealed Thursday, further charges the New Jersey Democrat with having “provided sensitive U.S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the Government of Egypt.”
Menendez served as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee before stepping down from the committee in the wake of last month’s indictment. He was originally charged with conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, and conspiracy to commit extortion. A search of his home by federal authorities found envelopes of cash, bars of gold, and other improperly obtained assets.
Prosecutors have now added an additional charge of “conspiracy for a public official to act as a foreign agent,” alleging that between 2018 and 2022 the senator and his wife accepted bribes from an Egyptian businessman in exchange for “his influence and power and breach his official duty in ways that benefited the Government of Egypt.”
My fellow conservative Americans – its as simple as that. He should be in prison. So should anyone who does this kind of thing.
He needs to resign now. Plain and simple. If he doesn’t, he needs to be ejected.
i just dont like that poor Bob was targeted by the anti democrat Biden DOJ. why did hunter make him do this? /s
Hi, democrat here. Lock him up, please and thank you.
This shit is unconscionable and had no place in American. politics.
Republicans: hold your own accountable. This isn’t a dick measuring contest to see who can get away with the most, we need to expect the best of our leaders across the board.
Please expel him forthwith.
Could have worked for Trump’s cabinet then?
Looks like that weaponized DoJ I keep hearing so much about is at it again. /s
Every Democrat needs to take to the floor and demand his resignation. Schumer needs to remove every privilege including his key pass.
I’m not politicriminologist, but I think in the biz we say “the jig is up”.
Honestly though, he should probably resign.
he should definitely be locked up, but people thinking this will set any kind of example for conservatives need to remember that Al Franken fell on his sword for that exact reason, but the GOP still ignores every one of their own crimes. they *only* play team politics, and will burn the country down to protect their criminals.
“Egyptian Bob”
Interesting, late addition. I wonder if they waited to see what he intended to do re. the original charges. When he decided to fight, did they just go “Alright then…”.
This guy is toast.
Menendez needs to resign or be expelled.
This guy’s almost as corrupt as a Republican.
You can tell that our society is deeply broken when literal member of the government being a corrupt foreign agent is barely the 3rd page story. Jesus christ.
If the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was acting on behalf of another government, he needs to be *under* the jail.
How does this man think he can continue to serve? He certainly can’t receive any sensitive information at this point and he no longer has anyone’s trust.
Purchasing US politicians is such a great investment for foreign governments. Look how much Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey got in return.
This is damning, he must go.
On a side note, I wonder if this is the DoJ getting the ball rolling on a sweeping crackdown on treasonous reps with some friendly fire. Certainly would be a good way to nip any “political witch hunt” chatter in the bud…
Now do Santos, Rand Paul et al!
Time for a joint statement from Democrats demanding his resignation.
DNC needs to cut him off if this has not been done already.
He and Santos need to face expulsion yesterday
Now do Ted Cruz and add Justice Clearance and his wife in there … oh and the Trump kids and that one skinny weird looking husband and Trucker Carlson
Literally expel him from the Senate. Make an example of him
Get the fuck out of congress you vile pig
It’s interesting that Menendez will be tried and convicted and all appeals used, before Santos or Trump even sits in front of a jury.
Wait, now it’s illegal for senators to trade secrets for cash? What will they do next, make inside trading illegal for senators? Make insurrection illegal?
The corrupt piece of shit needs to resign.
They are already making motions to expel Santos because of all the attention his trial is receiving.
This is treason and should be treated as such. I dont care what party you are in. Get criminals out of my government
Still has all clearances , briefings and intelligence. He needs to go. Now. Just like Trump, threat to national security and I am a progressive from NJ.
How /why did the dnc not remove him after the first set of charges.
Democrats when we see corruption in our own party: “they need to resign or we vote them out next election. Prosecute them!”
Republicans when they see corruption in their party: “witch hunt! Hunter Biden! Woke!”
Democrats need to actually get together and expel his ass, why do I only see a select few calling for his resignation?
Dude is a straight up traitor.
He isn’t the only Senator this corrupt. To think so would be naive. How many of them answer more to moneyed foreign interests over their American constituents? All of them?
Treason. He needs to be executed
This country is plagued by corruption.
We need to do everything we can to have Andy Kim win the primary. Doesn’t look like Menendez will resign
It looks like he is wanting to be on the Supreme Court instead of the Senate.
Resign
Where’s Jared?
Man. Fuck Hunter Biden.
Holy hell, at this rate magafolk might dump Trump for this guy.
Easy peasy. Get him the Fuck out. Now do that with the rest of the GOP traitors.
