Top Democrat Caught Working For Foreign Nation

Senator Bob Menendez, representing New Jersey and a member of the Democratic Party, is now confronted with a fresh accusation of acting as an agent for Egypt. This comes less than a month after he was hit with federal charges alleging that he accepted lavish bribes in exchange for wielding his political influence.

According to The Hill, the new indictment suggests that Menendez, along with his wife, Nadine Arslanian, and a New Jersey businessman named Wael “Will” Hana, conspired to act as agents of the Egyptian government between January 2018 and June 2022. Their alleged actions, as outlined in the indictment, include providing sensitive U.S. government information and taking covert steps that benefitted the Egyptian government.

Under U.S. law, members of Congress are prohibited from agreeing to or acting as foreign agents, even if they are registered under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), which mandates that anyone acting in the U.S. on behalf of a foreign entity must register with the U.S. Attorney General. The purpose of this law is to prevent undisclosed foreign influence. Notably, neither Menendez’s wife nor Hana were registered under FARA, as stated in the indictment.

Furthermore, between 2020 and 2022, Senator Menendez allegedly made several requests to the Department of Justice, urging investigations into individuals who had failed to register under FARA, including a former member of Congress. In these requests, he asserted that FARA mandated registration for anyone acting directly or indirectly on behalf of a foreign principal.

It’s important to note that Senator Menendez is already facing three federal charges related to allegations that he accepted substantial bribes in exchange for helping enrich Hana and two other New Jersey businessmen, while also benefiting the government of Egypt. The alleged bribes encompassed various forms of compensation, such as cash, gold, mortgage payments, compensation for a low-activity job, a luxury vehicle, and other valuable items.

Both Senator Menendez and his wife have pleaded not guilty to these charges, which claim that the couple entered into a “corrupt relationship” with the businessmen, accepting significant sums of money in return for Menendez’s political influence.

Despite facing these legal challenges and calls from fellow Senate Democrats for his resignation, Senator Menendez has steadfastly maintained his innocence and refused to leave Congress. He has also stepped down as the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, in accordance with Senate Democrats’ caucus rules.

The indictment further alleges that Menendez exploited his position as chairman of the committee to favor the businessmen and the Egyptian government. One instance cited involved Menendez requesting nonpublic, though highly sensitive, information from the State Department about personnel at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. He then shared this information with his then-girlfriend, Nadine Arslanian, who subsequently relayed it to Hana, and it eventually reached an Egyptian government official.

Additionally, the indictment contends that Menendez attempted to obstruct a criminal investigation by the state’s attorney general’s office into Jose Uribe, one of the businessmen, and also sought to influence the prosecution of Fred Daibes, another businessman.

It is worth noting that Senator Menendez faced federal corruption charges in 2015 for accepting gifts and trips from a donor, but these charges were dropped in 2018 after a jury failed to reach a verdict.
