(Townhall) Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is already engulfed in legal drama stemming from bribes taken by Egyptian officials and acting as a foreign agent. He pleaded not guilty to the charges last September, confident that the truth would come out and he would be vindicated. This indictment isn’t Bob’s first time getting pinched in a federal corruption probe. His colleagues want nothing to do with him.
Menendez’s first corruption trial didn’t have this laundry list of items found at his residence that doesn’t support any claim of innocence. We have over $400,000 stuffed in articles of clothing, along with the gold bars—a seized asset that many of his allies find indefensible. Now, we have this new Qatari connection in a new indictment against the New Jersey Democrat (via NBC News):

Senator Bob Menendez, previously charged with using his influence to help the government of Egypt, has now been charged with aiding the Qatari government.
I think Menendez should be expelled from the Senate — just like George Santos was expelled from the House. Who agrees? pic.twitter.com/XHO48JrciB
