Menendez expecting charges Wednesday, sources say

Source: Philadelphia Inquirer

WASHINGTON –Sen. Bob Menendez (D., N.J.) is expecting a federal indictment Wednesday, according to two New Jersey Democratic sources.

Menendez has been traveling, but is expected to be back in New Jersey tomorrow and people around him expect the long-awaited corruption charges to be brought then -- though there is some caution that there could yet be delays; previous predictions of imminent charges have proven premature. The case is being handled by the Department of Justice in Washington, but a grand jury has been meeting in Newark.

Politico reported the expected indictment Tuesday morning.

Menendez is expected to fight to clear his name. He is not up for re-election until 2018 and will almost certainly not resign his seat in the Senate, at least not quickly.
