May 12, 2024, 11:02 AM
U.S. Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is set to begin his second federal corruption trial on Monday in a Manhattan courtroom. The charges involve alleged bribery, where Menendez is accused of using his influence to benefit businessmen in exchange for luxury gifts including gold bars, a Mercedes convertible, and cash. This trial follows a previous corruption case from which Menendez emerged unscathed seven years ago. The case also involves international elements, with alleged connections to the governments of Egypt and Qatar. There are speculations that Menendez may blame his wife for the alleged bribes.
