TL;DR Summary

Senator Bob Menendez is set to be arraigned on corruption charges, accused of using his influence to accept hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes. Menendez, along with his wife and two co-defendants, is expected to plead not guilty. As the calls for his resignation grow louder, two dozen of his Democratic colleagues in the Senate have already called for him to step down. The indictment alleges that investigators found over $480,000 in cash hidden in the couple's home, along with other valuable items. Menendez, who previously faced charges in 2015 that ended in a mistrial, maintains his innocence and predicts he will be exonerated.
