Epstein Documents: Corrupt Senator Bob Menendez's Ex-Girlfriend Took Part in "Orgies" On Pedo Island

This guy is what I call "Pure Class."

Disgraced New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez's ex-girlfriend allegedly participated in orgies with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and underage girls, newly released court documents claim.

Gwendolyn Beck, 65, a longtime associate of Epstein who dated Menendez in 2010, was singled out by his victim Virginia Giuffre in a January 2016 deposition, a transcript of which was finally released to the public on Tuesday.

As part of the deposition, Giuffre was provided with a list of names and was asked which ones she was not trafficked to as a teenager.

"Number 7, Gwendolyn Beck," she replies, according to the transcript. "I wasn't trafficked to her, she was just part of some of the trafficking."

An attorney asks Giuffre what Beck's involvement was, to which the victim replies: "She was involved in some of the orgies."

The attorney then asks Giuffre, "What gentlemen were involved in the orgies with you and Ms. Beck?"

"As far as I can recall, Jeffrey Epstein," she replies.

...

It's unclear when the orgies occurred but by the time Beck was linked to Menendez in 2010, Giuffre was married and living in Australia.

Beck did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Bob Menendez, meanwhile, was "multitasking" to please his handlers in Qatar and Egypt and keep the bribes coming.

Jetting to meetings in London and Qatar.

Gold bars. Envelopes stuffed with cash. Tickets to a Formula One Grand Prix race in Miami.

They were all part of an elaborate, three-year, multilevel scheme involving Sen. Bob Menendez and his longtime friend, Edgewater-based developer Fred Daibes, according to the latest version of a federal indictment naming both men.

The updated indictment, released last week, adds more layers to an already complex relationship among the senator, his wife and three businessmen in which favors -- reportedly including Menendez releasing information to Egyptian officials -- were allegedly traded for gold and envelopes crammed with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash.

The initial indictment, released last fall, made it seem as if Daibes made payments solely to get Menendez to intervene in a bank fraud case against the developer. But the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York now alleges Menendez was multitasking for Daibes -- by also publicly praising Qatar to entice a Qatari sheikh to invest in a property Daibes owns.

...

The indictment alleges that between 2018 and 2022, Menendez and his wife "engaged in a corrupt relationship with Hana, Uribe and Daibes" to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for Menendez using his "power and influence to protect, to enrich those businessmen and to benefit the government of Egypt" even as Menendez was chair of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

An updated federal indictment last week gave more details, involving a scheme in which Menendez allegedly made flattering public comments about the Qatari government as a way to encourage a Qatari sheikh to invest in a property that Daibes owned. In exchange Daibes allegedly gave Menendez bribes in the form of cash and gold bars.

Bob Menendez decried the "persecution" he was facing -- yes, he used that word -- just because he happens to enjoy hiding gold bars and envelopes stuffed with hundreds of thousands of dollars around his various houses.

The embattled New Jersey lawmaker said he was innocent in a 20-minute speech on the Senate floor, first accusing federal prosecutors of leveling multiple filings against him because it effectively keeps "the sensational story in the press."

"It poisons the jury pool, and it seeks to convict me in the court of public opinion," Menendez said, his voice wavering at times, adding, "The sensationalized allegations are now creating a rising call for my resignation, despite my innocence, and before a single piece of evidence has even been introduced in a court of law."

But Menendez also railed against the allegations themselves, insisting that he has long criticized both Qatar and Egypt over human rights abuses and other issues and that he was not bribed by actors in the country.

Prosecutors allege the senator took money and gold bars while knowing he was expected to perform acts that would benefit the Qatari government and help another defendant, Fred Daibes, get a multimillion-dollar investment from a fund tied to that government. Menendez knew he was expected to take actions that would help Qatar to induce a Qatari investment company to invest with Daibes, officials say.

Fetterman's Monster rejected Menendez's claims and demanded that he be kicked out of the Senate.

From The Recount:

"Oh, I know, yeah, he's a victim. Yeah, he's a victim," Fetterman said sarcastically.

Fetterman continued, "I've been calling for that sleazeball has to go. And I don't know why we have to get rid of [former Rep. George] Santos and we keep somebody like him around."

"[Menendez] accused his colleagues, I guess that would include yourself, who called on him to resign or to leave Congress, of acting politically. What do you say to his accusation?" another reporter chimed in to ask the Pennsylvania Democrat.

"No, I think it's my aversion to gold bars in your mattress and over half a million dollars stuffed around your house," Fetterman replied.

"Fire bad," he then mused.
