Bob Menendez, the former New Jersey Senator, was sentenced to 11 years in prison for accepting bribes in exchange for using his Senate influence. The prosecution alleged that Menendez aided the Egyptian government and local businessmen with their dealings, receiving substantial bribes including cash, gold bars, and luxury cars. After his emotional court address lamenting the loss of his public service career, he expressed a defiant stance, labeling the prosecution as a political witch hunt, and hinting at possible future appeals and support for presidential pardons.
Other than family, I have lost everything I ever cared about. For someone who spent his entire life in public service, every day I'm awake is a punishment.
President Trump is right. This process is political, and it's corrupted to the core. I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores the integrity to the system.
