Menendez faces New Federal Indictment.

Yesterday, the U.S. government unsealed a new indictment relating to Robert Menendez. According to a report in the BBC, Menendez is facing new charges that he accepted gifts such as tickets to Formula One races in return for praising the Qatari government. The indictment also includes details of Menendez’s efforts to help a New Jersey Businessman, Fred Daibes, secure a lucrative investment in Qatar by making positive comments about Qatar. According to a report in the New York Times, this indictment expands upon the allegations that Menendez and his wife Nadine accepted gifts such as gold bars from the Egyptian government and failed to register as foreign agents while conducting business on behalf of Egypt. This new indictment will strengthen the government’s case into Menendez’s dodgy business doings.
