Menendez Faces a New Charge

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) — “already accused of using his political influence to benefit Egypt — was newly charged on Tuesday with using his power to help the government of Qatar,” the New York Times report.

“Mr. Menendez was charged by federal prosecutors with accepting bribes from Fred Daibes, a prominent New Jersey developer, in exchange for the senator’s help securing financial backing from an investment fund with ties to the Qatari government.”
