Veteran US Senator Robert Menendez has temporarily resigned as head of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee as he faces bribery allegations.

Justice Department prosecutors allege that Robert Menendez and his wife accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars, gold bars, home loan payments, minimum wage payments, a luxury vehicle and other valuables in exchange for government assistance. of Egypt, but the couple has denied the charges.

The senator has rejected calls from fellow Democrats back in his home state of New Jersey to resign from his seat.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said Friday that Mr. Menendez had decided to step down as chairman of the influential committee "until the matter is resolved."

The New York Democrat said his colleague was "a dedicated public servant and is always fighting hard for the people of New Jersey."

It is not the first time that the 69-year-old Menendez, who has served in Congress since 2006, has had to give up the coveted post on the foreign affairs panel.

He also resigned in 2015 after being indicted in New Jersey on charges that he took bribes from an eye doctor in Florida. That case ended in a mistrial as jurors were unable to reach a unanimous verdict.
