In a surprising turn of events, New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, a Democrat, finds himself borrowing from the Trump playbook as he faces federal charges. Menendez, who vehemently denies being a prop of foreign governments, asserts that the charges against him are nothing more than a politically driven persecution rather than a fair prosecution.
In a statement to the press, Menendez declared, 'They seek a victory, not justice. So if you can't beat him, you persecute him or you prosecute him. We can't let this happen in America.' Menendez believes that the United States Attorney's Office is not pursuing a legitimate case but rather seeking to harm him and, by extension, the political establishment.
