▲ Democratic Senator Bob Menendez will step down from office on August 20 after being found guilty of accepting bribes for illegal acts, including influence peddling with businessmen and acting as an agent of the Egyptian government. However, in a letter to New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, the legislator insisted that he is innocent and will exhaust all legal avenues to defend himself. During a search, FBI agents found piles of gold bars and $480,000 in Menendez’s home.Photo Ap
