Bob Menendez and his wife have been indicted follow a years-long investigation.
US senator Bob Menendez and his wife have been indicted on bribery charges after an investigation that turned up 100,000 dollars in gold bars and 480,000 dollars in hidden cash at their home, prosecutors said.
The Senate Historical Office says Menendez appears to be the first sitting senator in US history to have been indicted on two unrelated criminal allegations.He faces re-election next year in a bid to extend his three-decade career in Washington, and as Democrats hold a narrow majority in the Senate. Investigators also asked questions about the Menendez family’s interactions with a New Jersey developer.
Menendez has always maintained his innocence. His lawyers said campaign contributions and gifts from Melgen — which included trips on his private jet to a resort in the Dominican Republic and a vacation in Paris — were tokens of their long-time friendship, not bribes.
