The indictment accuses Menendez and his wife of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes in exchange for using the senator’s power and influence to seek to protect and enrich the businessman.
He continued, “I have been falsely accused before because I refused to back down to the powers that be and the people of New Jersey were able to see through the smoke and mirrors and recognize I was innocent.”
A spokesperson for Hana also rejected the claims in the indictment, saying, “We are still reviewing the charges but based upon our initial review, they have absolutely no merit. Mr. Hana is expected to voluntarily return to the U.S. from Egypt and appear in court on Wednesday.”

I almost don’t believe it because I know how heavy gold bars are.
I guess because he got away with it the first time he got a bit more brazen. I still can’t believe voters didn’t give him the boot. This was entirely predictable after the first trial.
it’s sad. jersey is my home state but corruption has been so rampant there for so long it’s just kind of accepted. mcgreevy, corzine, norcross, menendez, etc.
bill pascrell is the goat though !
I still can’t believe voters didn’t give him the boot.
That was the Trump-era midterms IIRC… He’s there now because he has a D next to his name. That’s about it.
They could have ditched him in the primary. I doubt it would have affected national politics much, aside from getting rid of one more corrupt bastard.
They’re like some arrogant grifter couple from Better Call Saul.
if he had just stuck to stealing through the stock market like the rest of congress, he wouldnt be in trouble

That’s one way to not skip leg day. Put some gold bars in your coat before you go walking around.
I suspect the cash was in the coats, not the gold bars. Although the headline can be creatively interpreted as that there was cash stuffed in gold bars. That would be kinda cool though.
F**king hell if this was an R we’d be slaughtering him like a chicken in KFC. Have some standards D and get rid of this shitstain ASAP.
