Gold Bar Bob: The Downfall of the Most Corrupt US Senator

Power corrupts, and in the case of New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez, power—and boatloads of money—corrupted absolutely and led to the downfall of the Democratic Party.

Senator Bob Menendez stands alone as the most corrupt US Senator in history. After corruption charges were dropped in a 2017 mistrial, he may have considered himself invincible. But when the Feds raided his home in June 2022, they found a gifted Mercedes Benz, more than $600,000 in cash, and thirteen gold bars stuffed in envelopes, clothes, and closets. It was an outrageous haul for a man who styled himself as a fierce anti-corruption crusader, an ambitious Democrat who overthrew his mob-connected predecessor and rose through the ranks to the House of Representatives and the Senate to serve as the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

In exchange for personal and campaign contributions, Bob aided others to sway criminal prosecutions, defraud millions from Medicare, secure questionable visas, acquire government contracts and financial investments, obtain millions in firearms, and weaken Homeland Security. While Menendez was convicted of sixteen felony counts—including bribery, extortion, fraud, acting as a foreign agent, obstruction of justice, and several counts of conspiracy—there are still many secrets to unveil. After nearly a half-century political career, the lies will finally be unraveled about his family’s origins, how his second wife may be part of his crimes, and how much he attempted to get away with.
