Federal prosecutors have announced that Democrat U.S. Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey and his wife have been indicted on charges of bribery.
Reports from Fox News state that the senator, who has been under investigation for alleged corruption multiple times in the past, is being charged with taking bribes in exchange for favors.
According to NBC News 4, investigators are attempting to determine if Menendez or his wife had taken up to $400,000 worth of gold bars from Fred Daibes, a developer and former bank chairman accused of banking crimes.
This latest accusation brings into question the integrity of our elected officials and their ability to remain impartial while representing all constituents regardless of political affiliation.
As news outlets continue to report on this investigation, one thing remains clear: the citizens of New Jersey deserve better than what they are getting from their senator.

The New York Post reports, “The Senate Historical Office says Menendez appears to be the first sitting senator in U.S. history to have been indicted on two unrelated criminal allegations. Menendez faces reelection next year in a bid to extend his three-decade career in Washington, and as Democrats hold a narrow majority in the Senate.”
A press event will be held today at 11:00 a.m. to announce the unsealing of an indictment charging Robert Menendez, U.S. Senator from New Jersey, and his wife, Nadine Menendez, with bribery offenses in connection with their corrupt relationship with three New Jersey businessmen. pic.twitter.com/CLTXnU0mAm
