Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) on Thursday called on the full Senate to vote on a resolution to expel Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) from the chamber in the wake of new charges asserting the New Jersey senator has acted as a foreign agent on behalf of Egypt.
“Senator Menendez should not be a U.S. Senator. He should have been gone long ago. It is time for every one of my colleagues in the Senate to join me in expelling Senator Menendez,” he said in a statement.
“We cannot have an alleged foreign agent in the United States Senate,” Fetterman added. “This is not a close call.”
Fetterman called for Menendez’s expulsion after federal prosecutors filed a new charge alleging Menendez and his wife, Nadine Arslanian, conspired to act as an agent of Egypt while Menendez chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The superseding indictment filed by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York points out that Menendez, as a public official, was prohibited from serving as a foreign agent.
It also noted that between 2020 and 2022, Menendez made multiple requests for the Justice Department to investigate another person for failing to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act.
The fourth count of the revised federal indictment against Menendez alleges that his co-defendants, including his wife and her business associate Wael “Will” Hana, “willfully and knowingly combined, conspired, confederated and agreed together and with each other to have a public officials, to wit, Robert Menendez, act as an agent of a foreign principal.”
Fetterman told reporters last month he would vote to expel Menendez.
“Whatever kinds of procedure that could bring about getting rid of him, I’m all for it, forcing it,” he said.
“Honor, clearly, isn’t going to be the option to appeal to at this point,” he said, noting Menendez had been “defiant” in resisting calls for his resignation.
More than half of the Senate Democratic caucus has called on Menendez to resign.
But it’s ok to have a foreign agent in the White House???
Why not?
We have one as President.
When you’ve lost Shrek ...
I wonder what has Fetterman so obsessed with sticking it to Menendez. It’s almost like the boy doesn’t like Hispanics or whatever Menendez is.
“But it’s ok to have a foreign agent in the White House???”
Beat me to it!
I support Santos and Melendez , I think it’s important to remind average Americans of what the country can be like if we keep importing 3rd world Hispanics
They will be using this trick on Kari Lake if she is elected. Sorry, he represents the state. The Senate should pound sand.
Shrek is a doofus but he’s not wrong about Menendez.
Menendez must know too much he is Pro-Israel and is alleged to have been an agent of the Egyptian government that is anti-Obama-Biden by default.
General Sisi the current President threw the Muslim Brotherhood imposed during the “Arab Spring” out.
Menendez must know too doggone much maybe even Epstein secrets.
I’ve read that Menendez has relation to sexual activity in the Dominican Republic.
Or an IRAN SYMPATHIZER as Iran envoy???
Why was demented Uncle Fester assigned the job of leading the attack on Menendez?
Melendez should go scorched earth on his “brethren” in the Senate. He must know a lot of stories about what they are up to feathering their own nests.
And Ilhan Omar.... the terrorist CAIR supporter ???
Fetterman has finally stopped pretending he has a brain and has let his handlers speak for him through statements and x posts.
To give him gravitas?
Who was holding the Fetterman remote control when he said that.
Let the people decide.
