Senator Robert Menendez was found guilty of participating in a vast international bribery scheme, accepting payoffs for political favors abroad and at home. This makes him the first U.S. senator convicted of acting as an agent for a foreign power.
Menendez could face the possibility of many years in prison due to his convictions on 16 counts, including bribery, wire fraud, extortion, obstruction of justice, and more. Eight counts carry potential 20-year sentences.
