 Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey is facing federal charges of bribery. The three-term lawmaker faced similar accusations in 2017, costing him his position as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

Menendez says the cash found in his home was from his 'personal savings account' which he kept for 'emergencies' due to his family 'facing confiscation in Cuba'
