NEW YORK CITY, NY (VINnews)-“President Trump was right. This process is political, and it’s corrupted to the core. I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores integrity to the system.”

In a surprising statement, former New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez echoed sentiments often expressed by Donald Trump regarding the nature of political processes in the United States. Menendez, who recently faced conviction for accepting bribes, agreed with Trump’s assessment that the current system is deeply flawed and politicized.
Menendez, a senior Democrat, was found guilty of accepting bribes in the form of gold bars, cash, and a luxury car. The bribes were allegedly taken in exchange for favoring foreign governments, particularly Egypt and Qatar, by using his political influence to promote their interests in Washington.
Despite his conviction, Menendez’s comments have stirred attention as he emphasized the need for reform in the political system. His statement aligns with Trump’s longstanding claim that many legal and political actions against him, including his multiple indictments, are rooted in political motivations rather than justice.
A Divisive Issue
Menendez’s comments have provoked a mixed response from political observers. Supporters of Trump view Menendez’s statement as further validation that the justice system is being used as a political weapon against their favored candidates and politicians. Critics argue that Menendez’s corruption case is a stark example of why stringent oversight and ethical standards are necessary in public office.
Menendez, who served as a U.S. senator for nearly two decades, remains a controversial figure. His trial and subsequent conviction have tainted his legacy, but his alignment with Trump on the issue of political corruption may resonate with those who believe the system is skewed.
Hunter did worse by accepting MILLIONS from foreign countries and what happened to him ? NOTHING, NADA,
He’s flattering Trump, hoping for a pardon. But when Trump was impeached, Menendez voted him guilty!! Twice!!
Slime!!
He’s 100% correct, but by even appearing to be corrupt, he perpetuated the corruption of the system. May Trump have much success in restoring the integrity of our institutions by starving them of funds, and exposing them for all to see.
Menendez is as corrupt as a politician could get. He got lucky the first time with a hung jury, and you’d think the guy would learn his lesson. He is guilty… and he knows it. Trying to invoke Trump’s name and somehow tie his convictions to Trump’s is not going to wash. Trump has no reason to pardon you and he’s not going to..
The corruption here seems to be not that he is not guilty, but that he is going to jail, while other guilty people (Hunter Biden, for example) are not. So he’s a crook, just not a well-connected one.
Sorry, my sympathies are not with him.
Yes, bribery and baksheesh for political favors is OK. Ask Trump.
He had gold bars in his house. He had wads of cash stuffed in his pockets. Completely innocent of course.
Trump is the cesspool. The most dangerous and deranged person in this country. I couldn’t believe this article you wrote.
One felon supporting another. How appropriate. Both help to undermine confidence in the legal system and laws in general.
