This one is gold. The senior United States senator from New Jersey, Bob Menendez, and his wife, Nadine Arslanian, have been charged with corruption-related offenses over the alleged acceptance of “hundreds of thousands of dollars” in exchange for his influence, according to\u00a0an indictment\u00a0filed in federal court. Prosecutors allege the bribes included gold bars, cash, home mortgage payments, compensation for a “low-or-no-show job” and a Mercedes Benz. Three New Jersey businessmen have also been charged for their involvement in the scandal, which benefited interests in Egypt. The indictment claims authorities found more than $480,000 in cash \u2014 most of which was hidden \u2014 during a search of the Democratic senator’s home last year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After the charges made headlines, several names in entertainment sounded off on the politician \u2014 and “gold bars” even trended on X! <\/p>\n

“Maybe everyone thinks our institutions are corrupt because senior sitting senators are found to be bribed with ‘$100,00 [worth] of gold bars, luxury cars, and cash’\u2026.” \u2014Meghan McCain<\/p>\n

“Didn’t he know you’re supposed to funnel the $ through your relatives \u2013 brother, kids, grandkids etc.?! Menendez!” \u2014Caitlyn Jenner<\/p>\n

“Sounds like a recurring theme in the democrat party,” Donald Trump Jr. wrote in response to a message that read, “Bob Menendez is a moron. You let your son take the money, then he filters it to you discreetly.\u00a0 Everyone knows this.”<\/p>\n
