excerpt:
The federal indictment alleges that Menendez used his power (https://www.foxnews.com/politics/feds-probing-if-democrat-sen-bob-menendez-accepted-gold-bars-worth-hundreds-of-thousands-from-felon-report) and influence serving in the U.S. Senate to enter into the scheme which ultimately benefited the Egyptian government. It stated that the lawmaker and his wife accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes "to seek to protect and enrich" Daibes, Hana and Uribe.The bribes, the indictment continued, included cash, gold bars, home mortgage payments, compensation for no-show jobs, a luxury vehicle and "other things of value."
"Among other actions, Menendez provided sensitive U.S. Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the Government of Egypt," the indictment stated.
"Menendez also improperly advised and pressured an official at the United States Department of Agriculture for the purpose of protecting a business monopoly granted to Hana by Egypt and used in part to fund the bribes being paid to Menendez through Nadine Menendez," it continued.
The scheme arose in 2018 after Nadine Menendez, then Arslanian, began dating Sen. Menendez and subsequently introduced him to Egyptian intelligence and military officials "for the purpose of establishing and solidifying a corrupt agreement" in which Hana, along with Daibes and Uribe, provided bribes to the Menendez couple.
In exchange, Menendez allegedly breached his official duty to benefit Egypt's government (https://www.foxnews.com/world/traffic-disrupted-egypts-suez-canal-2-tankers-collide) with respect to foreign military sales and foreign military financing.
