Democrat Senator Faces Fresh Charges: Bribery Scandal and a Controversial Egyptian Contract Under Scrutiny.

New Charges Against Senator Menendez

  • The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York has disclosed plans to reveal an indictment against Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and his spouse, Nina Menendez.
  • The office claims that forthcoming charges involve bribery tied to improper dealings with three businessmen from New Jersey.
  • A media briefing is scheduled for 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time, led by U.S. Attorney Damian Williams, to formally announce the indictment.

Previous Legal Troubles

  • Bob Menendez has been the subject of earlier federal scrutiny.
  • In 2015, he faced allegations of bribery and conspiracy related to dealings with Democratic benefactor Salomon Melgen.
  • Menendez allegedly received gifts such as money, gold bars, and mortgage payments in return for political advantages.
  • This new case seems to follow a similar trajectory, highlighting the Senator’s persistent legal issues.

Involvement in Egyptian Contract

  • In 2018, Menendez met with New Jersey businessman Wael Hana, who later obtained an Egyptian contract for certifying halal meat. This contract is a focal point of the current investigation.
  • The Senator, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, allegedly received gifts for political favors involving Egypt.
  • Menendez has refuted these claims, stating that his past stance against Egypt’s human rights record and military funding makes it unlikely that he would offer any favors.

  1. That’s why liberal democrats are banned from the kingdom of God. Who are we kidding? It’s almost every corrupt politician.

  2. Finally karma. The man was in trouble some years ago for having ‘relations’ with minors, and of course he was let go (well, now we know why he was let go) . Go get him.
