New Jersey Democrat Sen. Robert Menendez was indicted on bribery charges on Friday. The allegations are devastating and will be tough for the lawmaker from the Garden State to defend.
narrowed the definition of what constitutes an"official act" to support a bribery conviction against a government official. Specifically, the Court observed that"setting up a meeting, calling another public official, or hosting an event does not, standing alone, qualify as an 'official act.'"
Further, for purposes of establishing bribery in an honest services fraud prosecution, the Court concluded, an"official act" requires a public official to"make a decision or take an action," or agree to do so, on a"question, matter, cause, suit, proceeding or controversy." The actions Sen. Menendez is alleged to have taken for the benefit of Hana, Uribe and Daibes, if proven, clearly surpass the bar set for bribery in the McDonnell case.
