Democrat Senator Bob Menendez charged in new indictment, will he go from gold bars to prison bars?

Democratic New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez is facing his second indictment on bribery charges in the last 10 years, with this recent federal indictment from the Southern District of New York. Menendez and his wife, Nadine Menendez, along with three New Jersey businessmen, are accused of engaging in a corrupt relationship with cash, gold, mortgage payments, and more. These alleged bribes, spanning from 2018 to 2022, were reportedly in exchange for using Menendez's influence to benefit the businessmen and the Arab Republic of Egypt. Menendez has denied the charges, claiming they misrepresent his work as a senator and suggesting voters wait for a trial before accepting the prosecutor's version of the facts.
