 Senator Menendez is already planning an appeal of his 16 guilty verdicts on bribery counts. He says he acted within his office. The decision rendered by the jury today would put at risk every member of the United States Senate in terms of what they think a foreign agent would be. But Damian Williams, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, said this trial stops Menendez's abuse of his office. His years of selling his office to the highest bidder have finally come to an end.
