Democratic New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez reportedly attended a classified briefing about Ukraine on Thursday, despite facing charges of bribery and acting as a foreign agent.

Menendez was charged in October for acting as a foreign agent for Egypt in exchange for luxury gifts, and was hit with subsequent allegations in January for accepting bribes from Qatar. Menendez stepped down from his role as Senate Foreign Relations Committee chair in September, but remains in the Senate, and attended a classified briefing on Ukraine Thursday after attending a similar briefing in November, according to CNN reporter Manu Raju.

[Why hasn’t Chuck Schumer intervened to revoke Menendez’ access to classified briefings? Being charged as a foreign agent isn’t the same as being convicted, but no one has a *right* to such access. Not even elected US Senators have a right to sensitive intel. Menendez should be assigned away from such duties while this case proceeds. — Ed]
