The senator and his wife face corruption charges linked to three New Jersey businessmen and the government of Egypt.
“I firmly believe that when all the facts are presented, not only will I be exonerated, but I still will be New Jersey’s senior senator,” Sen. Menendez said.
Last week, prosecutors announced charges against the Menendezes, saying that they accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from three New Jersey businessmen from 2018 to 2022. In exchange for cash, gold bars, home mortgage payments and more, authorities said Sen. Menendez used his power to benefit the businessmen and the government of Egypt.
The businessmen, Wael “Will” Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes, have also been charged as part of the investigation. Court records show that Hana pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of conspiracy to commit bribery and conspiracy to commit honest services fraud. The case marks the second time corruption charges have been leveled at Sen. Menendez. Authorities accused the New Jersey Democrat of accepting bribes from a Florida ophthalmologist in 2015.Latest trending news:
