Sen. John Fetterman called on the Senate to expel Sen. Bob Menendez from Congress after new charges were brought to light showing that the New Jersey Democrat acted as a foreign agent.
“Sen. Menendez should not be a U.S. senator. He should have been gone long ago,” Mr. Fetterman, Pennsylvania Democrat, said in a statement on X Thursday. “It is time for every one of my colleagues in the Senate to join me in expelling Sen. Menendez.”
Federal prosecutors announced a new charge against Mr. Menendez and his wife, Nadine Arslanian, alleging they conspired to have the senator act as a foreign agent of Egypt while he chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The new indictment comes less than a month after all three were charged with conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud and conspiracy to commit extortion. Mr. Menendez was accused of misusing his office to benefit wealthy businessmen and the Egyptian government.
In a statement Thursday, Mr. Menendez stressed that he has been loyal to only the U.S. his entire life.
