Hopefully he's out for 2024 now and Democrats can get someone better.

George Santos said Menendez should not resign. No link but I saw the clip.

The guy is throwing stones in the glasshouse, lmao.

Either way, both should resign.

Sen. Bob Menendez charged with conspiracy to act as a foreign agent of Egypt in new indictment

Federal prosecutors on Thursday announced an additional charge against New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife, alleging they conspired to have the senator act as a foreign agent of Egypt.

The superseding indictment filed against Menendez, who was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at the time of the alleged actions, adds a new dimension to the case by alleging a US senator was working on behalf of another country.

Menendez and his wife, Nadine Arslanian Menendez, were indicted last month on corruption-related offenses, and are accused of accepting “hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes” in exchange for the senator’s influence.

Prosecutors had alleged the bribes included gold, cash, home mortgage payments, compensation for a “low-or-no-show job” and a luxury vehicle.

Both Menendez and his wife have pleaded not guilty. A trial date has been set for May.

How in the world is this guy still in office? He should resign right away, just as numerous Democratic colleagues demanded already.

This is even worse. I think he's done. Especially since Democrats are trying to crucify Trump for similar things.

He is unquestionably losing his primary, but unfortunately they cannot force him to resign, and not enough Republicans would join Democrats in voting to expel him

Democrats would have nothing to lose though. They can immediately fill the seat with another Democrat. It's a different situation from Santos since that would force Republicans into a special election they would likely lose in an already tight majority.
