Sen. Menendez: Gag Order and Conditions of release

Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ) was released on a $100,000 personal recognizance bond after agreeing to surrender his personal passport, though U.S. Magistrate Judge Ona Wang of the Southern District of New York noted that he will be allowed to retain any official passport.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Ona Wang said Senator Robert Menendez’ travel will be restricted to the United States unless he undertakes foreign travel for official business purposes. He was forbidden from contact with co-defendants other than his wife and from discussing the case with witnesses, including political advisors, staff and the staff of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations outside the presence of counsel.
