Menendez Charged with Using Position to Help Qatar

A superseding indictment filed today charges Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) with using his position to benefit Qatar in addition to Egypt.

Bloomberg: “The latest indictment complicates the legal challenges for Menendez, who has pleaded not guilty and faces a May 6 trial in New York federal court. FBI agents seized 13 gold bars, nearly $500,000 in cash and the Mercedes in a raid on Menendez’s home, and prosecutors displayed that haul in indictment photos that brought widespread condemnation to the senator.”
