New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez has been hit with federal corruption charges related to a years-long scheme in which he allegedly accepted bribes — including gold bars — in exchange for helping three businessmen and the country of Egypt, officials announced Friday.
The Democrat, 69 — and his wife, Nadine Menendez — were charged with taking hundreds of thousands in bribes, according to a Manhattan federal indictment.
This is his second time facing federal corruption charges.
When the feds raided Menendez’s Englewood Cliffs home in June 2022, they found “the fruits” of his “corrupt bribery agreement” including a 2019 Mercedes C-Class, at least 13 gold bars, and $566,000 in cash “stuffed in envelopes.”
