A federal grand jury has filed a second superseding indictment against Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., following previous allegations of accepting bribes.
The new allegations say Menendez made positive statements about Qatar to help a New Jersey developer get a multimillion-dollar investment from a company tied to the country. The developer cited in the indictment is Fred Daibes, who has also been charged in the case.
During the time of the discussions in late 2021 into 2022 for the investment in the deal, Menendez allegedly made a number of statements supportive of Qatar.
Someone could probably come up with a job title that sounds more corrupt than “New Jersey developer,” but I’m not that person. And you can’t even blame gerrymandering on this one getting elected, he’s a senator. Oh, New Jersey.
