"Sen. Bob Menendez Indicted on Additional Bribery and Corruption Charges Involving Qatar"
Senator Bob Menendez, a Democrat from New Jersey, has been implicated in additional allegations according to a superseding indictment. He is accused of exchanging positive comments about Qatar for valuable gifts, including luxury wristwatches. Despite facing charges of conspiracy and acting as an agent for Egypt among other offenses, Menendez has pleaded not guilty and refused to resign. His trial is scheduled to begin on May 6, after a federal judge denied his request to delay the trial to review evidence.
