Daughter of Sen. Robert Menendez Speaks Out

Unaware of Charges Against Father

Alicia Menendez, host of MSNBC's "American Voices with Alicia Menendez," addressed the indictment of her father, Senator Robert Menendez, for the first time on Saturday. "The night before federal prosecutors would reveal explosive bribery charges against Senator Robert Menendez, his adult children appeared unaware of the impending legal storm," reported MSNBC.

Menendez stated that she had not been informed of the charges and was "shocked and saddened" by the allegations. "I love my father very much, and I believe in him," she said. "I'm confident that he will be exonerated."

The senator's daughter also emphasized that she would not let the charges interfere with her work as a journalist. "I'm a reporter, and I have a responsibility to cover this story fairly and objectively," she said. "I'm not going to let my personal feelings get in the way of that."

Alicia Menendez's father, Senator Robert Menendez, is a first-generation American of Cuban descent. He has been in the Senate since 2006 and is currently facing charges of bribery and corruption.

The outcome of the case against Senator Menendez is uncertain, but his daughter's unwavering support is a testament to the strength of their family bond.
