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.

Like Richard Rich, he will die in his bed.
It’s election interference! The deep state will stop at nothing!
Hunter and the 'big guy' got diamonds and millions in cash...
Excellent point.
It would seem Bob is done. The only question is why did they go after him? He’s a nasty Rat being investigated by nasty Rats.
What is the point? Seriously!
They do this to poor old Bob, but they ignore the stuff Joe and Hunter did?
Menendez must be a closet-Republican. Why else would he be getting all this $h!t down on him?
Don’t get your hopes up.

You are absolutely 100% correct. We cannot endure this for much longer.
