U.S. senator Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine were accused of obstructing an investigation that has now seen them accused of bribery in exchange for the use of political influence, a superseding indictment revealed.
A grand jury indicted Menendez of over ten new charges, according to a CBS News report. The charges don't reveal new potentially criminal conduct, but accuse the defendants of underlying crimes as part of broader conspiracies, the outlet explained. Prosecutors did allege new obstructive acts.
