New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez has been hit with federal corruption charges related to a years-long scheme in which he allegedly accepted bribes — including gold bars — in exchange for helping three businessmen and the country of Egypt, officials announced Friday.
The Democrat, 69 — and his wife, Nadine Menendez — were charged with taking hundreds of thousands in bribes, according to a Manhattan federal indictment.
This is his second time facing federal corruption charges.
