Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and his wife Nadine were charged Tuesday with lying to federal investigators in a new, expanded indictment accusing them of accepting gold bars and cash to dole out favors to local businessmen and foreign governments.
Both Menendez, 70, and Nadine were charged with new obstruction of justice and additional bribery counts in the fourth version of an indictment unsealed by federal prosecutors in Manhattan.
The married couple, alongside co-defendants Wael Hana and Fred Daibes, now faces 18 counts — 16 of which involve the senator — as part of a “corrupt relationship” to benefit the New Jersey businessmen, the Egyptian government and Qatar, the revised indictment shows.
The alleged bribes included more than $566,000 in cash, roughly $100,000 in gold bars, home mortgage payments, payments for a “low-or-no-show job” and a Mercedes-Benz convertible, and even exercise machines and an air purifier.
Previous indictments charged the senator with wire fraud, extortion, bribery and acting as a foreign agent for Egypt between 2018 and 2022 — while serving as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Menendez has since stepped down from that position but refused to resign from office — despite pressure from Republican and Democratic colleagues.

P
It seems like this professional political weasel has been up on fraud charges for 15 years..
The uniparty globohomos at it again with their corrupt prosecutions.
Will it ever end? Civil war soon.
And still the democrat party refuse to throw this bum the hell out of the
Senate???
This is far worse than George Santos and you never, ever hear of Democrats or the media calling for or demanding his expulsion. Why is that? And where are Republicans, Mitch?
Yep.....about time to see him in cuffs
Come on - the thug has a D by his name. Next to NOTHING will happen. He gets a pass.
Teflon Bob
He’ll sjate, he always does.
Only dirty Republicans or those who can be made to look dirty get held to any standard.
HAHAHA...Mitch is drooling...............As is the POTUS~~~~~~
No doubt the skates are lubed and ready to go.
It’s not teflon - the democrat party IS the party of illegals and criminals.
GREAT TITLE!!
Bob Menendez Scores Corruption Indictment Hat Trick
The New Jersey Democrat, who was charged with corruption and bribery in September, has now been accused of acting as a foreign agent to Qatar
There are dirty Politicians and there are a few clean ones.
That brings us to Bob Menendez. Gold bars and all......
The category Menendez falls into into? “The dirty rotten SOBs that should be in prison division.”
It is time to clean up our Justice systems.
as crooked as a country road. But that’s OK. He’s a Demon-crat
Menendez is one vote.
The Damnocrats would support the devil if it meant one vote!
ALWAYS PAY THE BIG GUY!!!
Biden has 50 years of bribes, extortion, and cronyism and knows how to use it. Cross a Biden (”nobody Fs with a Biden”) and you will be destroyed.
What did he do, to the Demonrat Party, for this to happen?
It’s, obviously, not the criminal behavior, that’s just normal and expected, for the Rats.
Why just him?
