Staff Reports
It seems that the corruption and scandal surrounding Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) just keeps getting deeper. In a shocking discovery, a stash of solid-gold bars found at his home during an FBI raid has now been linked to a robbery that occurred back in 2013. This latest revelation only adds to the mounting evidence against the embattled senator.
The court records uncovered by NBC News reveal that the stolen gold bars were taken during an armed robbery of a prominent New Jersey real estate businessman, Fred Daibes. He reported that 22 gold bars and $500,000 in cash were stolen from his penthouse apartment in Edgewater. What’s even more intriguing is that each of these gold bars had unique serial numbers, making them easily identifiable.

Four individuals were eventually arrested for the crime and pleaded guilty. One of the gold bars, with the serial number 590005, was returned to Daibes as evidence. But somehow, the rest of the stolen gold bars ended up at the home of Senator Menendez and his wife. How could this be? The chain of custody here appears to be a damning piece of evidence against the senator.
Let’s not forget that Senator Menendez is already facing federal charges for orchestrating a corrupt bribery agreement. It is alleged that he used his position of power to enrich three donors by pressuring the government of Egypt to accept their business ventures. And if that wasn’t enough, he is also accused of using his influence to help one of these donors escape charges in a bank fraud case.
A raid of his New Jersey home uncovered not only 13 gold bars but also over $500,000 in cash stashed away in closets and sock drawers. This is not the behavior of an innocent man. If convicted, Senator Menendez could be facing up to 45 years in prison. It’s no wonder his Democratic Senate colleagues are calling for his resignation.
But, of course, Senator Menendez insists he is innocent and blames his stash of gold on his upbringing in communist Cuba. According to him, he and his wife must be prepared with a stash of valuables in case things go south. It’s a laughable excuse, considering the circumstances.
This latest revelation about the stolen gold bars only adds to the overwhelming evidence against Senator Menendez. The chain of custody of these valuable items clearly implicate him in the robbery. It’s time for him to step down and let justice be served. Our elected officials should be held to the highest standards of integrity, and Senator Menendez has failed to meet those standards.
