Embattled Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) denied the salacious allegations against him on Monday, striking a defiant tone at his first public press conference responding to a federal indictment charging him and his wife with accepting bribes through a halal meat certifying company.

Menendez said that the wads of cash investigators found stuffed in his clothes was money he had withdrawn from his personal savings account for emergencies.

For 30 years, I have withdrawn thousands of dollars in cash from my personal savings account, which I have kept for emergencies and because of the history of my family facing confiscation in Cuba, Menendez said, adding the money was from his lawful income over three decades.

Incredible stuff

If I were Schumer I wouldve given him 24 hours to resign. If he refused, Im starting the expulsion process the next day. He has to go and go now.

Wait, what? We're getting into 'Big Tits' Giuliani territory here.

That's a legitimate industry, but I can't think of a legitimate reason a US Senator is fucking around with a company in it.

This sounds like old school, '70's style corruption. It's pretty easy to catch, and dumb for a Senator to try....according to a friend.

Ha, Schumer is defending him. Meanwhile everyone in NJ sans Booker is calling for him to resign

It's both. His first statement was about how it's not "lost" on him that a Latino senator is under scrutiny which was just as eye rolling.

In isolation, the cash could be explained.

But he's not even touching on the Benz, leaking privileged diplomatic info, the proof in wiretaps, the gold, etc. His wife ruins his cover.

Why do these politicians think they are smarter than everyone else? They are so delusional they think they create their own reality and everyone else has to live in it
