Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer Calls on Menendez to Resign Following Bribery and Extortion Conviction
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on Tuesday afternoon called on Senator Bob Menendez to resign after a jury convicted the New Jersey Senator on bribery, corruption and extortion charges.
In October Bob Menendez was charged with acting as a foreign agent in a superseding indictment.
The indictment filed by a federal grand jury in Manhattan claims Menendez “provided sensitive U.S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the Government of Egypt.”
In January Menendez was hit with a second superseding indictment for praising Qatar in exchange for luxury watches.
In March Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine Menendez were charged with obstruction of justice in an 18-count indictment.
