"Sen. Bob Menendez Fights Back: From Senate Floor to Courtroom"

Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., has filed a motion to dismiss the indictment charging him with bribery and acting as a foreign agent, claiming the charges are unconstitutional and violate Constitutional safeguards. Menendez and his wife were charged with bribery over their alleged acceptance of "hundreds of thousands of dollars" in exchange for the use of the senator’s influence to enrich businessmen and allegedly benefit the Egyptian government. Menendez has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has temporarily stepped down as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
