Menendez Indicted, Making History as First Senator Charged as Foreign Agent

Breaking News: Menendez Faces Historic Charges

Senator Robert Menendez has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of acting as an unregistered foreign agent. The 64-year-old Democrat from New Jersey is the first sitting US senator ever to face such charges.

The indictment alleges that Menendez accepted bribes from a wealthy donor in exchange for using his position to advocate for the donor's business interests. Prosecutors claim that Menendez received over $1 million in campaign contributions and gifts from the donor, who was also a foreign national.

Menendez has denied the allegations and has vowed to fight the charges. He has accused the government of politically motivated prosecution.
