As Spencer reported Friday morning, Democratic Senator Bob Menendez has been indicted on a number of federal charges for bribery and selling out the United States of America to Egypt. Menendez is the current chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The indictment alleges Menendez accepted bribes in return for his "power and influence as a senator" to protect and enrich several Egyptian officials.
"Those bribes included cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low-or-no-show job, a luxury vehicle, and other things of value," the indictment states.

ARCHER: "Burisma would have gone out of business if it didn't have the brand attached to it...I think that preserved them..."
REP. DAN GOLDMAN (D): "But how would that work?"
ARCHER: "Because people would be intimidated to mess with them."… pic.twitter.com/uIqouwArBE
TUCKER: "There's no corruption here at all. This is totally normal. Joe Biden had no role whatsoever in in his son's business or knowledge of it? That seems false."
