News about Bob Menendez

A high-profile Democrat Senator who is under investigation for bribery is expected, according to his lawyers, to blame his actions in part on the 'traumatic' death of his father nearly 50 years ago. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., was charged in September for using his influence as a lawmaker to help provide favors for several businessmen and the governments of Qatar and Egypt. A raid of the senator's Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, home uncovered around $500,000 in cash stowed in clothes, closets and a safe, 13 gold bars and a luxury Mercedes-Benz convertible. Now, the Democrat's lawyers are hatching a plan to portray Menendez as a compulsive money withdrawer whose fear of going without stems from 'traumatic experiences in his past associated with cash and finances.' Menendez's legal team is even requesting a psychologist - Karen B. Rosenbaum - to testify that the Democrat 'experienced trauma when his father, a compulsive gambler, died by suicide after Senator Menendez eventually decided to discontinue paying off his father's gambling debts.'

The 57-year-old also took out the trash, while wearing sweatpants and heels, and at one point used an empty Coke Zero box to hide her face from the cameras. She was spotted hours after bombshell court documents were released suggesting her husband, 70, may blame her for the widespread corruption scandal that includes gold bars, piles of cash and favors for the Egyptian government. The New Jersey Senator and his wife are accused of receiving lavish gifts - including luxury cars and stacks of money - as part of a bribery plot to help the Egyptian government and businessmen facing their own criminal investigations.

The network of brothels operating in the Greater Boston and Washington D.C. areas was determined to ensnade politicians, senior government officials, and defense contractors to support a foreign country. But whether the country was Russia, China, Korea's capital, or even Israel, is another question that has yet to be answered - at least not publicly. Washington, D.C., maintains a favourable environment for spies at the country's political capital. Two of the brothels operated in luxury apartment buildings in the Virginia suburbs outside the capital, which are all about a 15-minute drive from the White House, Congress, Pentagon, and CIA. A haven for defense contractors alike, Boston, where the other four brothels operated. It's also home to top-tier universities, like Harvard and MIT, that educate government and military officials, as well as Pentagon and CIA reports.
