New Jersey Democrat Senator Bob Menendez has recently pleaded not guilty to a new indictment that charges him and his wife with bribery and obstruction of justice. The accusations involve accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes from international countries. This marks the third time Menendez has entered a not guilty plea in relation to bribery charges.
The embattled Democratic lawmaker is facing allegations of obstructing justice as his corruption trial approaches. Last year, he was charged with accepting bribes in the form of cash, a Mercedes, and gold bars to impede law enforcement investigations related to accusations of illegally acting as an agent of the Egyptian government.
