"American Roller Skater Maimed in Egypt: Unveiling the $300M Menendez Indictment"

The indictment of Senator Robert Menendez includes an episode where he allegedly edited and ghost-wrote a letter on behalf of Egypt to convince other US senators to release a hold on $300 million in military aid. The hold was partially related to the case of April Corley, an American roller skater who was severely injured by a US-supplied Apache helicopter operated by the Egyptian military in 2015. Senator Patrick Leahy had placed the hold to hold Egypt accountable for Corley's injuries. The allegations against Menendez suggest that he used his influence as a senator in exchange for money and favors from the Egyptian government.
