FOX News contributor Jonathan Turley tells 'America's Newsroom' that Sen. Bob Menendez' bribery charges will 'rock' Washington D.C. as he is a 'fixture' of the city.
This is an extraordinary development for Washington. I just arrived by train. This is going to rock the city because Menendez is obviously a fixture in this city. He's been. Ironically, he was in my jury during the last judicial impeachment trial of a judge accused of the same type of corrupt practices. And yet, even though he had been previously alleged to have committed these acts, he had no problem serving on that jury. Now, this has really come back with a vengeance for the senator.
WASHINGTON - SEPTEMBER 21: Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., arrives for President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy's meeting with U.S. Senators in the Capitol on Thursday, September 21, 2023. Sen. Bob Menendez is being charged with bribery offenses in a federal indictment out of the Southern District of New York to be unsealed Friday, prosecutors announced.
"A press event will be held today at 11:00 a.m. to announce the unsealing of an indictment charging Robert Menendez, U.S. Senator from New Jersey, and his wife, Nadine Menendez, with bribery offenses in connection with their corrupt relationship with three New Jersey businessmen," the U.S. attorney's office posted on X.
NBC News 4 reported Monday that the FBI and IRS criminal investigators are attempting to determine if Menendez or his wife had taken up to $400,000 worth of gold bars from Fred Daibes, a New Jersey developer and former bank chairman, or his associates in a swap for Menendez reaching out to the Justice Department to aid the"admitted felon" accused of banking crimes.
The unsealed indictment alleges that from at least 2018 through 2022, Menendez and his wife, Nadine Menendez,"engaged in a corrupt relationship" with Daibes, Wael Hana and Jose Uribe.For more Culture, Media, Education, Opinion, and channel coverage, visitGet all the stories you need-to-know from the most powerful name in news delivered first thing every morning to your inbox
