New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez (D) is facing a three-count federal indictment on bribery charges. So what’s he do? He hires Hunter Biden lawyer Abbe Lowell to step in and save him.
From Newsmax:
Lowell was Menendez’s attorney for his first corruption trial in 2015, which ended in a mistrial, and now he returns to Menendez’s team amid the three-count indictment that lists a series of bribes they were allegedly paid by three New Jersey businessmen in exchange for gold bars, a luxury car, and cash.
Menendez, his wife, and their co-defendants will appear in a Manhattan federal court Wednesday. The senator plans to address his future in a news conference Monday in Hudson County, New Jersey, sources told CNBC.
Lowell served as Menendez’s attorney in 2015 when he allegedly accepted illegal gifts from a Florida ophthalmologist, but a hung jury led to the case being dropped.
“I am not going anywhere,” a defiant Menendez said in a statement after Friday’s indictment.
“Those who believe in justice believe in innocence until proven guilty. I intend to continue to fight for the people of New Jersey with the same success I’ve had for the past five decades,” Menendez said.
“This is the same record of success these very same leaders have lauded all along. It is not lost on me how quickly some are rushing to judge a Latino and push him out of his seat. I am not going anywhere.”
