Disgraced ex-Sen. Bob Menendez angling for Trump pardon ahead of possible 15-year sentencing

Allies of former Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) are reportedly making efforts to secure a pardon for him from President-elect Trump. President Biden has rejected the idea multiple times since the fall, prompting Menendez to turn to Trump for potential clemency. Despite Menendez voting to convict Trump in both impeachment trials, he believes Trump may be more willing to grant mercy, especially if he requests a sentence commutation instead of a full pardon.

Menendez, 71, who is awaiting a Jan. 29 sentencing, is hopeful that a rejection from Biden could make Trump more inclined to grant clemency, according to sources. However, a Trump source indicated that the president-elect is unlikely to overlook Menendez’s past actions of voting against him during his first presidency.

Federal prosecutors are seeking a 15-year prison sentence for Menendez for accepting bribes, which they described as “naked greed” involving gold bars, cash, and gifts. In July, Menendez was convicted of accepting bribes in exchange for advancing the interests of businessmen from New Jersey and the governments of Egypt and Qatar.

Despite maintaining his innocence, Menendez resigned from the Senate in August under pressure. When contacted by NBC News, he declined to comment on the situation. Both the White House and representatives for Trump did not respond to requests for comment from The Post.

Overall, the situation highlights the political complexities surrounding Menendez’s quest for clemency and the potential challenges he may face in seeking forgiveness from both Biden and Trump. The outcome remains uncertain as Menendez navigates his legal troubles and attempts to secure a favorable outcome in his case.
