In 2020 Bob Menendez, who was then a U.S. senator, married his third wife, Nadine Arslanian Menendez. In September 2023 the couple were federally indicted on bribery charges relating to claims that the senator used his position to secretly benefit the Egyptian government. The indictment alleged that they accepted “cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low-or-no-show job, a luxury vehicle, and other things of value.” Bob Menendez was found guilty in July 2024, and Nadine Menendez was convicted in April 2025.
