The indictment against Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) shows images of stacks of cash and gold bars federal agents allegedly found at his residence.
Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife, Nadine Menendez, each face three federal counts stemming from a 39-page indictment alleging they accepted bribes from New Jersey businessmen “in exchange for using Menendez’s power and influence as a Senator” not only to “protect and enrich” the men, but to “benefit the Arab Republic of Egypt.”, Menendez faces three counts: Conspiracy to Commit Bribery in violation of Section 201 and under Title 18 of the U.S.
At a press conference shortly after 11:00 a.m. Eastern, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams laid out allegations of corruption against Menedez and the codefendants between 2018-2022: The indictment alleges that through that relationship, the senator and his wife accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes in exchange for Senator Menendez using his power and influence, to protect and to enrich those businessmen and to benefit the government of Egypt.
Striking images from the indictment show gold bars, large stacks of cash, and the Mercedes Benz in focus:“Over $480,000 in cash—much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe—along with over $70,000 in NADINE MENENDEZ’s safe deposit box… as well as over $100,000 worth of gold bars”
