Democrat U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez is facing the rest of his life in jail if convicted of charges brought against him, former New Jersey Superior Court Judge Andrew Napolitano told Newsmax on Friday.
Federal prosecutors on Thursday submitted a rewritten indictment against Menendez and his wife to charge them with conspiring to have him act as an agent of Egypt and Egyptian officials.
"If they were going to have to prove actual agency they'd have to bring in Egyptian foreign agents to New York City to testify against Sen. Menendez, and that would materially disrupt the relations between Egypt and the United States. They don't want to do that. The new charge comes just weeks after Menendez, former chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and his wife were accused of accepting bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, and a luxury car from three New Jersey businessmen who wanted the senator to influence foreign affairs. The couple have pleaded not guilty.
