Menendez ignores questions as he leaves court
Indicted Sen. Bob Menendez won’t attend classified briefing on Israel after foreign agent chargesBob Menendez is being charged as a foreign agent — so why not Hunter Biden?raked in $274,500 for his legal defense fund through the end of last month — leaning on donations from key New Jersey powerbrokers, a recent filing shows.
He shelled out $10,000 to the new fund on Aug. 3, as did two other members of his family, Alessandra Norcross and Alexandra Norcross.Other notable people who hit the maximum $10,000 donation included real estate businessmen Michael Barry and David Barry, as well as the International Longshoremen’s Association COPE.By the end of September, it had spent only $55,208, including $50,000 for legal services, of the total cash accrued, the filing shows.
In exchange for these gifts and other alleged bribes, Menendez improperly pressured a US Department of Agriculture official to protect Hana’s “exclusive monopoly”, granted in 2019, on signing off on US food exported to Egypt as compliant with halal standards, despite Hana having no prior experience with halal certification, the feds said.
Menendez has tapped first son Hunter Biden’s lawyer Abbe Lowell, to defend him. Lowell helped defend Menendez in his previous corruption case.
