Senator Bob Menendez Indicted for Obstruction of Justice and Bribery Scheme

New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez and his wife have been indicted for the fourth time, facing charges of bribery, obstruction of justice, and lying to federal investigators. The indictment alleges that the couple accepted cash, gold bars, and other favors in exchange for political influence. Menendez has denied the charges and refused to resign from office, despite pressure from colleagues. The trial is scheduled for May 6, and a co-defendant has already pleaded guilty and agreed to cooperate with investigators.
