Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey is accused of accepting cash, gold, and a luxury car items to help protect a businessman from prosecution, an indictment says.
A phone message left at Menendez's personal Senate office was not immediately returned. A spokesman for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee did not respond to a request for comment from CNBC.
"Some of the envelopes contained the fingerprints and/or DNA of Daibes or his driver," the charging document said. The document, which was signed by Palumbo in July, lists Menendez as a "grantor" of the fund and the campaign treasurer as a "trustee." In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Court found that prosecutors had applied what justices called "a boundless" definition of what constitutes an official act.
