Elected officials are entrusted with the running of our government and creating policy for the future of the country. When questions as to their loyalty are raised, it causes significant controversy and concern. This has happened recently with Sen. Menendez coming under scrutiny for allegations of corruption and bribery while serving in his capacity as a senator. Currently on trial for bribery charges, the senator is accused of accepting gifts in return for policy decisions that benefited several businessmen with ties to Egypt and Qatar. While Menendez’s defense vehemently denies these allegations, the prosecution feels they have ample evidence to back their charges.
Due to his experience as a former prosecutor and constitutional attorney, David Di Pietro was brought onto Newsmax’s National Report to provide his insight and expertise into this case. Despite the defense arguing that its not possible to prove that the senators actions were anything other than proper for his role, David argues that the evidence is overwhelming for a guilty verdict. Specifically, he mentions that the evidence of bribery is so ample that it should be an open and close case, especially with the defense practically admitting guilt by mentioning that the information in question was publically available.
David is a regular contributor to Newsmax due to his position as a subject matter expert on litigation and class action lawsuit cases throughout the United States.
