A Manhattan jury has found Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., guilty on all counts Tuesday following two months of trial and a little over two days of deliberation.
Menendez, 70, had been charged with accepting gifts in exchange for political favors. An FBI raid in 2022 uncovered nearly $150,000 worth of gold bars and more than $480,000 in cash, the Associated Press reported. Prosecutors accused the senator of using his office to protect the business interests of his corrupt donors, as well as disrupt efforts to investigate them and their relations with the government of Egypt.
