Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) was found guilty on all counts “in connection with a sweeping scheme to sell his office to foreign powers and crooked businessmen in exchange for hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, a luxury car and bars of solid gold,” the New York Times reports.
Menendez showed no expression as the forewoman said guilty over and over.
The verdict will create intense pressure on Menendez to resign before his term expires at year’s end.
