Senator Bob Menendez found guilty in bribery scheme
New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez has been found guilty on 16 counts tied to a scheme where he accepted bribes, including gold bars and a Mercedes-Benz, in exchange for helping foreign governments. Menendez's wife, Nadine Arslanian Menendez, also faces charges in the bribery case, but her trial was delayed so she could undergo breast cancer treatment. A jury convicted Menendez of all charges after more than 12 hours of deliberating over three days. A third businessman, Jose Uribe, pleaded guilty and testified against Mr Menendez in the trial. During trial, prosecutors relied on expert testimony, emails and Mr Menendez's text messages to show that the senator accepted lavish rewards from foreign governments.
