Justice department prosecutors alleged that Menendez and his wife, Nadine accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in exchange for aid to Egypt’s government which the couple have denied.

The embattled Senator, however rejected calls from fellow Democrats back in his home state of New Jersey to resign his seat.

Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer said Menendez had decided to step down as chairman of the influential committee “until the matter has been resolved”.

The New York Democrat said his colleague was “a dedicated public servant and is always fighting hard for the people of New Jersey”.
