Another high-ranking Democrat has spoken out and is demanding Sen. Bob Menendez<\/a> step down.<\/p>\n

Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin posted a brief statement to social media Wednesday morning, joining the chorus of Democratic lawmakers<\/a> requesting the resignation of the New Jersey senator.<\/p>\n

“Leaders in New Jersey, including the Governor and my Senate colleague Cory Booker, have made it clear that Sen. Menendez can no longer serve,” Durbin wrote. “He should step down.”<\/p>\n

PELOSI AMONG GROWING LIST OF DEMS CALLING FOR MENENDEZ TO RESIGN AFTER BRIBERY INDICTMENT\u00a0<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Durbin is among the most prominent lawmakers to press for Menendez’s resignation \u2014 increasing the pressure on Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer,<\/a> who has yet to formally ask Menendez for his resignation.<\/p>\n

“Bob Menendez has been a dedicated public servant and is always fighting hard for the people of New Jersey,” Schumer said last week in a statement. “He has a right to due process and a fair trial.”<\/p>\n

On Friday, prosecutors in the Southern District of New York<\/a> unsealed an indictment charging Menendez, his wife Nadine, and New Jersey businessmen Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes with participating in a yearslong bribery scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n

SEN. BOB MENENDEZ MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT ON POLITICAL FUTURE, INSISTS HE’LL BE EXONERATED ON FEDERAL INDICTMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Since 2018, as alleged by federal prosecutors, the three businessmen collectively paid hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes, including cash, gold, a Mercedes-Benz and other things of value in exchange for Menendez agreeing to use his power and influence to protect and enrich them and to benefit the government of Egypt.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The indictment accuses Menendez of improperly pressuring an official at the U.S. Department of Agriculture to seek to protect a business monopoly granted to Hana by Egypt.\u00a0The senator is also accused of taking actions seeking to disrupt a criminal investigation undertaken by the Office of the New Jersey Attorney General related to Uribe and his associates. <\/p>\n

In June 2022, the FBI executed a search warrant at Menendez’s New Jersey home,<\/a> where federal agents observed many of the fruits of the bribery scheme, including cash, gold, the luxury convertible and home furnishings. Prosecutors say $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’s safe deposit box. Some of the envelopes contained the fingerprints and\/or DNA of Daibes or his driver, according to the indictment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The senator has denied any wrongdoing and rejected calls for his resignation. He did, however, step down from his role as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Menendez faced a previous federal corruption indictment in 2015, but those charges ended in a mistrial in 2017. In 2018, the Senate Ethics Committee said he broke federal law<\/u><\/a> and rules of the upper chamber in accepting unreported gifts from a friend and political ally. He still won reelection later that year.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
