Menendez raised just $104,000 during the last three months of the year, according to a report filed Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission. That was roughly one-tenth of his haul from the previous fundraising quarter, most of it before he was indicted.

Meanwhile, Menendez’s campaign’s spending on “legal services” skyrocketed in the fourth quarter, to $2.3 million. That is 10 times more than his campaign paid in legal fees throughout the rest of 2023.

[Funny how that happens when a friendly DoJ indicts you for being an undisclosed foreign agent. Don’t cry too much for Menendez, who raises funds separately for his legal defense. His campaign coffers still have over $6 million cash-on-hand too, but that’s going to dwindle rapidly in the days ahead. He may want to throw in the towel and move that money over to his legal fund. He’ll need it. — Ed]
