Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez’s Foreign Bribery Problems Deepen! 

Democrat Sen. Bob Menendez’s Foreign Bribery Problems Deepen! 

Already facing charges of alleged bribery by foreign officials from Egypt in exchange for favors, Democrat Senator Bob Menedez faces new accusations that he accepted similar lavish gifts to benefit Qatar!

The Senator from New Jersey is facing additional bribery accusations, according to a superseding indictment, which was unsealed on Tuesday, January 2.

Menendez is now accused of accepting bribes and gifts in exchange for helping to benefit Qatar as part of a yearslong corruption scheme from 2021 through 2023, one year longer than originally thought, the Justice Department said.

His attorney, Adam Fee, said the new allegations “stink of desperation.”

“Despite what they’ve touted in press releases, the government does not have the proof to back up any of the old or new allegations against Senator Menendez, Fee said. “What they have instead is a string of baseless assumptions and bizarre conjectures based on routine, lawful contacts between a Senator and his constituents or foreign officials. They are turning this into a persecution, not a prosecution.”

He added that the senator acted appropriately with respect to Qatar, Egypt, and other countries he interacts with.

Menendez is already facing federal charges for allegedly acting as a foreign agent and accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes to benefit the Egyptian government through his power and influence as a Senator.

Menendez, along with his wife Nadine and three other New Jersey businessmen — Wael Hana, Jose Uribe, and Fred Daibes — were first charged in the federal bribery scheme on September 23. All have pleaded not guilty.

Among the new allegations is that Menendez and his wife enriched themselves with cash, gold bars, and a luxury car. The couple received the gifts in exchange for Menendez using his influence to induce the Qatari Investment Co. to invest with Daibes.

Menendez made several public statements supporting the Qatari government and then provided them to Daibes so he could share them with the Qatari investor and a Qatari government official. The investor negotiated a million-dollar investment real estate project with Daibes.  

FBI and IRS criminal investigators allege that Menendez and his wife accepted several gold bars and other gifts from Daibes, a New Jersey developer and former bank chairman accused of banking crimes. Menendez allegedly worked to help appoint a prosecutor who would be sympathetic to Daibes, according to the indictment.

Following his arrest in September, Menendez gave up his position as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, but even amongst the new allegations, he has resisted calls for him to resign.

    A bunch of Donkeys who accuse everyone else of doing what they are doing. They point fingers & say, look over there all the while lining their pockets w/ greenery. Donkeys think they should be able to get by w/ all their dirty deeds, I say, to hell w/ them!

    I’m a liberal who said Menendez looked guilty the first time. I have always said, investigate, indict, and convict in court for either party so some “donkeys” don’t think like the stereotype you suggest. I would just like to see this House do something more than trial by NewsMax. You say you got the impeachment, you say you got Hunter, you say you got departmental weaponization, and deep state uncovered. It’s been well over a year, and you had the “data” a year before that. Where’s the witch hunts now?

    This one is over, Menendez should resign and focus on his court case; he looks to be toast after escaping the first one on pure luck.

    And you are a dick for generalizing based on your biased, untrue, allegations about democrats.

      Democrats prove many times that they are partisan idiots who care nothing about laws.

        Harrold – some are, just as some Republicans are, just as all Trumplicants are. I mean Trumplicants want to let over 400 criminals out of jail as Trumplicant patriots. What’s up with that. So much for the rule of law and jury of your peers.

        Why you people generalize everything based on a single datapoint is amazingly stupid.

        • Jim wampler

          Let criminals out of jail? Don’t get me started on the so-called prosecutors supported by George Soros. I would love to be a fly on the wall in your house if Trump won reelection. Imagine four more years of greatness. You liberals would have to stay out of the way of America greatness

            I think you wamplered your brains out. What does Soros prosecutors have to do with freeing 1.6.2021 criminals found guilty by a jury if their peers if they didn’t plead guilty first?

            Why the red herring?

            Why do you excuse a crime because you see another crime?

        Harold-You must not be able to read. It is the democrats who are calling for him to resign-republicans don’t care-they want to be able to use this as a campaign issue. The corrupt party starts with R and ends with n. Why else would the front runner for republican president be someone who deliberately took 100’s of classified documents with him after reluctantly leaving office and refused to turn them over? Not to mention all the other indictments, I just choose to focus on the one that is open and shut-guilty as charged…

        • Jim wampler

          Well Mike f as in fag you and faggot Frank are full of shit. And to answer frank it’s weak pussies in the prosecution offices that were bought and paid for by Soros. But you stupid pricks can’t see much with your heads up your asses. And trump really shined during his town hall earlier.

          • Mike f

            Jim-obvious you are not a patriotic American if you feel that someone who stole hundreds of our nations secrets to do who knows what with them deserves a second term to corrupt the country. Just saying. Fools will be fools…
