Bob Menendez, a former US senator, was sentenced to 11 years in prison for accepting bribes, which included gold bars and cash, in exchange for political favors. During his court appearance, he expressed remorse, claiming to have dedicated his life to public service. Once a prominent figure in the Senate, his corruption came to light following a jury's guilty verdict. The judge highlighted Menendez's transformation into a corrupt politician, as evidence revealed extensive bribery involving foreign governments and business interests.

Somewhere along the way, you became, I'm sorry to say, a corrupt politician.
Agents who raided the Menendezes' cluttered Englewood Cliffs house in June 2022 found 13 gold bars worth $150,000 tucked inside a bedroom safe.
What else can the love of my life do for you? Nadine Menendez asked an Egyptian official.
