Sen. Bob Menendez Verdict: GUILTY

A jury found Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) guilty on all counts.

Menendez faced 18 federal charges, including bribery, extortion, fraud, acting as a foreign agent, and obstruction.

The Southern District of New York charged Menendez and Nadine in September with allegedly accepting “hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes” to protect three New Jersey businessmen and work on behalf of Egypt.

The feds allege the Menendezes “accepted cash, gold, payments toward a home mortgage, compensation for a low or-no-show job, a luxury vehicle, and other things of value.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called on Menendez to resign now that a jury found him guily.
