 In CN News, I'm John Champion. A dramatic downfall for a once powerful United States Senator. CBS News reporter Christopher Cruz reports New Jersey Democrat Bob Menendez has been convicted at his corruption trial in federal court in Manhattan. The jury deliberated for more than 12 hours over three days after a nine-week-long trial before reaching its verdict this afternoon. Prosecutors had charged Menendez with accepting bribes of cash, gold bars, and a luxury car, acting as a foreign agent and obstructing justice.
