Senator Bob Menendez, a Democrat from New Jersey, was found guilty on all counts in his federal corruption trial. The charges included bribery, extortion, wire fraud, and acting as a foreign agent for Egypt and Qatar. Menendez was accused of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes, including cash, gold bars, and a Mercedes-Benz, in exchange for using his influence as a U.S. senator to benefit businessmen and foreign governments.

The prosecution presented evidence of Menendez's involvement in various schemes, such as helping a businessman secure a halal meat monopoly and intervening in a criminal investigation to protect a friend.

The jury deliberated for about 13 hours over three days before reaching a unanimous guilty verdict. Menendez, who did not testify during the trial, faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
