 Embattled Senator Bob Menendez, once the former chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, convicted today of acting as a foreign agent for the Egyptian government. The jury deliberated for 13 hours over three days before convicting Senator Bob Menendez, and U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said the facts never changed. This case has always been about shocking levels of corruption. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in the form of cash, gold bars, and Mercedes Benz.
