US Senator Menendez says he will be exonerated in bribery indictment

Al Jazeera  

Bob Menendez faces calls to step down amid allegations he took bribes and used influence on behalf of the Egyptian government. US Senator Bob Menendez has said he is confident he will be exonerated after prosecutors indicted him on accusations the top Democrat used his influence to benefit the government of Egypt in exchange for bribes. Prosecutors said Hana had set up the meetings between Menendez and the Egyptian officials, with the businessman texting one official after a meeting with Menendez in May 2018 that the “ban on small arms and ammunition to Egypt has been lifted”. “Now this may seem old fashioned, but these were monies drawn from my personal savings account based on the income that I have lawfully derived over those 30 years.” Following last week’s indictment, Democracy for the Arab World Now, an advocacy group, called on the Biden administration to immediately suspend all military aid to Egypt pending the prosecution. “The worst possible outcome here is if Senator Menendez goes to jail for accepting bribes from Egypt, but the White House continues to reward corrupt Egyptian officials with billions in taxpayer money.”
