Former U.S. Senator Bob Menendez was sentenced to 11 years in prison after being convicted on 16 felony counts, including bribery, fraud, and acting as a foreign agent for Egypt. The charges involved accepting bribes, including gold bars and cash, in exchange for political favors, influencing investigations, securing business deals for associates, and providing sensitive information to Egyptian officials. Menendez’s defense cited his age and public service, but Judge Sidney Stein criticized him for betraying the public trust. Menendez resigned from the Senate in August and maintains his innocence, calling the case a political witch hunt while planning to appeal.
