 Senator Bob Menendez and two of his business associates have been convicted on all charges in a federal corruption trial. Menendez was accused of accepting an array of bribes in exchange for helping foreign governments. The gifts totaled more than $100,000 worth of gold bars, along with hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash stuffed throughout his New Jersey home. U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Williams, speaking outside the courtroom after the verdict was reached, calling the case an example of shocking levels of corruption. This wasn't politics as usual. This was politics for profit.
