"The government’s accusations in this case — that he sold his office and even sold out his nation — are outrageously false, and indeed distort reality," wrote Menendez's attorneys in the court filing. Last week, the US Justice Department in a superseding indictment against Menendez accused him of receiving bribes in exchange for using his authority to assist the government of Qatar and benefit Egypt. Menendez also faces charges of conspiracy to commit bribery, conspiracy to commit honest services fraud, conspiracy to commit extortion under color of official right, and conspiracy for a public official to act as a foreign agent.
