Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey has been indicted on 14 counts of corruption charges. Menendez is accused of using his position to advance the business interests of a top supporter in exchange for gifts, vacations and more than $750,000 in donations. The indictment follows a multi-year investigation. At a news conference, Menendez denounced prosecutors and said he will be vindicated.

Sen. Bob Menendez: “For nearly three years, I have lived under a Justice Department cloud, and today I’m outraged that this cloud has not been lifted. I’m outraged that prosecutors at the Justice Department were tricked into starting this investigation three years ago with false allegations by those who have a political motive to silence me. But I will not be silenced. I am confident — I am confident, at the end of the day, I will be vindicated, and they will be exposed.”
