Senator Bob Menendez from New Jersey was found guilty of accepting bribes in gold and cash from three New Jersey businessmen and acting as an agent of the Egyptian government. The verdict comes after a nine-week trial where it was argued that Menendez abused his powers to protect allies and enrich himself and his associates. The senator, who did not testify, claimed the gold bars found in his home belonged to his wife, who is also facing charges. The verdict could impact his reelection campaign as an independent candidate.
