Sometimes politicians are so flagrant in their corruption that it almost seems
farcical.

But of course it isn’t funny at all if a United States senator takes illegal
“gifts” (some might call them bribes) while operating for years as a covert
agent of a foreign country.

* Last fall, Sen. Robert Menendez (Democrat, New Jersey) was indicted by
federal prosecutors who have evidence that he “provided sensitive U.S.
Government information and took other steps that secretly aided the
Government of Egypt.”

* When searching his home, investigators found at least $480,000 in cash and
over $100,000 in gold bars believed to be illegal payments for actions
Menendez took — in his capacity as a powerful senator — on behalf of Egypt’s
authoritarian regime.

* Then, just last week, Menendez was charged again — this time for a scheme
allegedly involving a member of Qatar’s royal family and more bribes of cash
and gold.

* And these aren’t even the first accusations of corruption Menendez has faced
during his years in public office.

Many prominent politicians in his own party have called for Menendez to resign. But Menendez is refusing to do the right
thing.

Public Citizen is calling for Sen. Robert Menendez to do the right thing and
resign over these credible allegations of corruption on behalf of foreign
powers.
