Menendez, a high-ranking Democrat who sits on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, has denied the charges and so far refused calls to resign, though he did step down as chair of the Foreign Relations Committee.

0:40.7 | This is Tangle. |
0:59.8 | Good morning, good afternoon and good evening, and welcome to the Tangle podcast, a place where you get news from across the political spectrum, some independent thinking, and a little bit of Isaac's take. |
1:03.1 | And as you may have guessed, I am not Isaac Saul. |
1:12.1 | My name is John Law. I am the YouTube and podcast editor here at Tangle, and I'm filling in because Isaac is traveling today, actually over to my neck of the woods in Los Angeles, to speak on a panel at the American Democracy Summit. |
1:18.1 | On today's episode, we're going to be talking about Senator Bob Menendez, the New Jersey Democrat, |

1:59.8 | to fill in, and thank you to all for giving me an opportunity to fill in. |
2:08.3 | And thank you to all of the loyal readers and listeners who make Tangle a thoughtful and welcoming community to be a part of. |
2:12.8 | Okay, with that out of the way, we're going to kick things off today with some quick hits. First up, the Writers Guild of America is set to vote on a new three-year contract, |
