Ridgewood NJ, Senator Robert Menendez, D-N.J., is confronting additional bribery accusations, as revealed in an unsealed superseding indictment on Tuesday.
Menendez is now charged with accepting bribes and gifts in exchange for leveraging his influence to benefit Qatar as part of an extended corruption scheme spanning from 2021 through 2023, a year longer than initially thought, according to the Justice Department.
His attorney, Adam Fee, dismissed the new allegations as “reeking 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 stated. “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.”
Fee emphasized that the senator’s actions were appropriate concerning Qatar, Egypt, and other countries with which he interacted.
Menendez is already facing federal charges for allegedly acting as a foreign agent and accepting substantial bribes to favor the Egyptian government through his influential position as a Senator.
