- Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., who faces federal bribery charges, plans to address Senate Democrats on Thursday behind closed doors during their luncheon.
- So far, 30 Senate Democrats — a majority of the Senate Democratic Caucus — have called on Menendez to resign from Congress since he was indicted last week.
- He and his wife, Nadine, were charged with bribery over their alleged acceptance of “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in return for the use of the senator’s influence to enrich three New Jersey businessmen and benefit the Egyptian government.
