For the second time, RLS Media learned that US Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey, who also chairs the influential Foreign Relations Committee, is facing corruption charges.
This comes after a 2015 case resulted in a mistrial due to the jury's inability to unanimously decide on all charges, with a judge later dismissing some of them.
The most recent indictment centers on allegations that Menendez and his spouse, Nadine Arslanian, accepted extravagant gifts, including a high-end vehicle, gold bars, and an apartment.
A federal grand jury in New York has officially filed the charges against the senior senator from New Jersey, igniting yet another legal battle that could have wide-ranging implications for his political future.
