U.S. Senator Bob Menendez and his wife, Nadine Menendez, have been charged with three counts of bribery and corruption related to a years-long plot. Despite the charges, Menendez has pledged to remain in his role as the senior senator representing New Jersey, but has stepped down from his role as chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. If convicted, Menendez could face up to 20 years in prison.
