TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez , a New Jersey Democrat who is on trial on federal bribery charges in New York, has filed to run as an independent candidate for reelection.
TRENTON, N.J. — U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, a New Jersey Democrat who is on trial on federal bribery charges in New York, has filed to run as an independent candidate for reelection.
Kim, a three-term congressman from the 3rd District, said Menendez was running for himself, not the public. In court, prosecutors have argued that Menendez sought to sell his office to enrich himself, helping business associate Wael Hana get a lucrative monopoly on certifying meat exports to Egypt as meeting Islamic guidelines, and assisting Fred Daibes with investments linked to a member of the Qatari royal family.
Menendez has held elected office for most of his life, getting on the Union City, New Jersey, school board just two years out of high school. Since then, he has been elected to office in the Legislature, as a U.S. representative and in 2006 as a U.S. senator.
