Menendez Egypt Bribes Covered by Al Jazeera But After Qatar Bribe Superseder AJE AWOL

SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 18 – Senator Bob Menendez was indicted for Egypt-related corruption on September 22, 2023.

When he held a press conference three days later on September 25, media including Qatar state media Al Jazeera attended (though no questions were taken). 

 On January 2, 2024 in a second superseding indictment, Menendez was charged with corruption for Qatar.

When the trial began in May, with for example the UK Independent and India's WION covered it, nowhere to be seen was Al Jazeera, so well funded by the Qatar royal family.  

 Inner City Press, which Al Jazeera's UN Bureau (chief) helped get thrown out of the UN amid its questioning AJE's insider status with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres, now questioning the absence of Al Jazeera from this Qatar corruption trial.

To date, no explanation has been offered, neither on AJE's role in censorship at and by the UN, from which Inner City Press remains banned. Journalism is not a crime? Watch this site.
