Retrieved on: 
Monday, September 25, 2023

Reactions came quickly to the federal indictment on Sept. 22, 2023, of New Jersey’s senior U.S. senator, Democrat Bob Menendez.

Key Points: 
  • Reactions came quickly to the federal indictment on Sept. 22, 2023, of New Jersey’s senior U.S. senator, Democrat Bob Menendez.
  • What did you think when you first read this indictment?
  • In addition, as judges routinely instruct juries in these cases, the indictment is not evidence and the jury may not rely on it to draw any conclusions.
  • The average reader will look at the indictment and say, “These guys are toast.” But are there ways Menendez can defend himself?
  • There are a number of complex issues presented by these charges that could be argued by the defense in court.
  • First, while the indictment charges a conspiracy to commit bribery, it does not charge the substantive crime of bribery itself.
  • In the Abscam case, seven members of the House and one Senator were all convicted in a bribery scheme.
