As the day went on after the bombshell indictment, Democrats began bailing on their legally troubled colleague.
The indictment said Menendez used his position to help the business executives as well.
The indictment includes cinematic, almost comical details about the payoffs Menendez is said to have accepted.
Some of the cash was stashed in jackets that were embroidered with the words "Robert Menendez" or "Senator Menendez."
At one point, the indictment said, Menendez did a Google search for "kilo of gold price."
