Senator Bob Menendez and Wife Accuse of Obstruction of Justice

Senator Bob Menendez, a Democrat representing New Jersey, along with his wife Nadine Menendez, have recently been implicated in a fresh obstruction of justice charge, as per a superseding indictment disclosed this Tuesday.

Republicans Purposely Create Border Chaos, Claims Senator Murphy

Senator Chris Murphy has recently accused the Republican party of intentionally creating a disorderly situation at the border to benefit ex-President Donald Trump's political aspirations.

He stated that the disorder at the border aids Trump's political campaign, and the Republicans are aware that without legislation, President Biden's options are limited.

However, it was shot down in the Senate with a vote of 49-50, falling short of the required 60 votes. Following this, Republi...

However, this decision does not necessarily mean they are siding with Trump. Instead, they aim to address whether a former president is truly immune from prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts...
