      It seems he’s using the Trump playbook for his defence

      In a defiant statement, Menendez defended himself against “baseless allegations” and theorized that he was being targeted by “the powers that be” because “they see me as an obstacle in the way of their broader political goals.”

      Replace “powers that be” with “the deep state” and replace “baseless allegations” with “witchunt” and we’re at a Trump truth social post.
