- Federal corruption charges have been renewed against Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey and his wife, as they allegedly accepted bribes and exploited his authority, even after previous acquittal due to legal technicalities.
- Investigations uncovered a hidden treasure of $566,000 in cash stashed within the Senator’s residence, some found within a jacket labeled in his name.
- The Senate Ethics Committee issued a rebuke against Menendez following a prior mistrial related to a bribery scandal, necessitating the reimbursement of over $100,000 credited to the alleged briber.
- The current accusations extend beyond a simple cash-for-favors case, with the Senator allegedly providing confidential U.S. intel to Egyptian officials in exchange for advantages for an affiliated businessman and his spouse.
- Legal obstruction and efforts to manipulate a federal attorney nomination form part of the new accusations against Menendez.
- Despite charges being pressed by an African American U.S. attorney, Menendez’s defense argues the prosecution to be influenced by racial bias.
- New Jersey voters are advised to reconsider their choice if the judiciary does not dismiss Menendez’s cases before the approaching elections.
- Â The takeaway is clear: A “public servant” hiding substantial cash and gold reserves should not get your vote.
