The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee accepted a $15,000 contribution from Bob Menendez's PAC the same day his bribery charges were announced the the public, filings show.
A top Democrat committee accepted thousands of dollars from New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez's PAC on the same day federal investigators revealed his bribery charges to the public, filings reviewed by Fox News Digital show. On the morning of Sept. 22, federal investigators unsealed the charges against Menendez, who chaired the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and his wife, Nadine Menendez.
However, as some were quick to distance themselves from Menendez's money, others have remained uncommitted or stayed quiet. West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin's office, for example, said that 'until there is a verdict, this is an issue between the people of New Jersey and Senator Bob Menendez.' Menendez, meanwhile, has maintained his innocence and believes he will be fully exonerated and remain in Congress.
Since this investigation was leaked nearly a year ago there has been an active smear campaign of anonymous sources and innuendoes to create an air of impropriety where none exists,' he wrote shortly after the indictment. Menendez and his wife pleaded not guilty to the charges.
