Feds to Indict Sen. Menendez on Corruption Charges
Sat, Mar 7, 2015
New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, is expected to face criminal corruption charges for using his political influence to benefit a wealthy campaign donor. Citing sources within the Department of Justice, multiple news outlets on Friday confirmed the pending indictment of Menendez, who has served New Jersey in Congress -- first in the House, then in the Senate, since 1993.
Menendez will be accused of using his influence to assist Salomon Melgen, a Florida ophthalmologist on whom he had relied for substantial campaign contributions and other support over the years.
