The gold bars, $15,000 in cash in a parking lot, the alleged double-dealing with Egyptian interests, and the political outlook.
Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., and Nadine Menendez arrive for the State Dinner with President Joe Biden and India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House, Thursday, June 22, 2023, in Washington.
Menendez on Friday cited having beat a previous indictment, in 2018, and accused prosecutors of having “misrepresented the normal work of a congressional office.” In one case, in May 2018, he allegedly met with the businessman, fellow defendant Wael Hana. The same day, he allegedly asked the State Department for highly sensitive details about who served at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. The next day, he allegedly texted this information to Nadine Menendez, who forwarded it to Hana, who then forwarded it to an “Egyptian government official.”
In early 2019, Menendez is described as seeking to apply pressure on a senior prosecutor in the New Jersey attorney general’s office in a case against an associate of fellow defendant Jose Uribe, a convicted New Jersey businessman. Starting a few days after Menendez called the prosecutor, Nadine Menendez is described as texting and calling Hana and Uribe about a Mercedes-Benz convertible they would later purchase for her.
It also says agents seized two one-kilogram gold bars and nine one-ounce gold bars with serial numbers tracing them to fellow defendant Fred Daibes. Daibes is a New Jersey real estate developer who was indicted in October 2018, and whose case Menendez allegedly emphasized while reviewing candidates to support for U.S. attorney.
