FOX News host Jesse Watters reacts to cash and gold bars being found in Sen. Bob Menendez’s home before his indictment on "Jesse Watters Primetime."

JESSE WATTERS: When Langley needs a narrative, they feed a journalist. … So, what message was American intelligence sending when the FBI found a half a million in cash sewn into a senator's windbreaker and gold bars stashed in his closet? Well, it was a message that "Gold Bar Bob" didn't get.

SEAN HANNITY: FIRST BIDEN IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY HEARING DID NOT DISAPPOINT 

Gold Bar is sticking it out. So, Langley shifted to plan B. The CIA now says Gold Bar Bob was a spy. Former intelligence agents told "The Intercept," "It certainly appears like the Egyptian government was using a classic source recruitment pattern to get Menendez and his wife to spy for them."

Another one says the evidence suggests they viewed Menendez as a source possibly "assisting Egyptian intelligence in more covert and damaging ways." So, Gold Bar Bob is not just greedy. He is a traitor. This is the same Trump playbook they used last time. They just switched countries from Russia to Egypt, but why was Gold Bar Bob such a threat to Democrats since Democrats have been taking bribes for decades?

A Virginia mother who was reported missing earlier this month amid allegations of child abuse told a local news reporter that she and her three children are doing well. 

A missing persons investigation began Sept. 13, after Lauren Cook failed to appear for a rescheduled court appearance in Franklin County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court, authorities said. This was a rescheduled court appearance from a Sept. 5 date in which she did not appear.

Cook has been missing with her three children — 7-year-old Benjamin Cook, 5-year-old Hannah Cook and 2-year-old Elijah Cook. Her husband, Jordan Cook, said that his family was not missing.

Lauren Cook, 30, spoke with ABC 13 News via a video call and over an app that can't be tracked, the news outlet said.

"I just don't have any solid answers yet as to what's happening with this case," she said. 

She said everything began with an anonymous report to social services alleging child abuse, which she denies. 

Despite an investigation, Cook said she was given legal advice that she could proceed with a pre-planned Labor Day vacation. She extended the trip after receiving legal advice, but was concerned that her children would be taken away. 

The Franklin County Sheriff's Office said Cook and the children will remain listed as missing until they make in-person contact with authorities. 

"The whole thing has me feeling a little paranoid about the situation with law enforcement," Cook said. "Why do they need me to specifically come in-person with kids ... when even the person that made the report is telling them that none of us are missing."

"Of course, I wish I could come back," she added. "It's hard to not really able to come back, come back to your own home."

Fox News Digital has reached out to authorities. 

Jordan Cook said he and his wife have not missed any social service appointments. His attorney said the social services case was dismissed this week, the news outlet reported.
