IIRC Menendez was accused and found guilty of accepting around $30,000 per year from foreign governments?
- smsm42 2y agoThat's probably only the part they had the hard proof for. Also, the press release[1] says: > between 2018 and 2022, Senator Menendez and his wife engaged in a corrupt relationship with Wael Hana, Jose Uribe, and Fred Daibes – three New Jersey businessmen who collectively paid hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes, including cash, gold, a Mercedes Benz, and other things of value and later: > Over $480,000 in cash — much of it stuffed into envelopes and hidden in clothing, closets, and a safe — was discovered in the home, as well as over $70,000 in cash in NADINE MENENDEZ’s safe deposit box, which was also searched pursuant to a separate search warrant This seems to be more than $120K over 4 years. Of course, not all of the cash found may be result of those bribes, but likely at least some of it is.
