Sen. Robert Menendez Indicted on Charges of Bribery and Abuse of Office

Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) was indicted on Friday by Manhattan federal prosecutors for allegedly taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes and using his office to benefit a foreign government in exchange for favors. The FBI uncovered stacks of cash and gold bars in a 2013 search of his home, and Menendez has denied any wrongdoing. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison, and the case could have significant implications for his political future.
