"Menendez, 70, wearing a blue suit and pink tie, sat with his head bowed at the defense table and kept a poker face while the jury forewoman read the word ‘guilty' 18 times, for each count that he and his two co-defendants faced," reports the New York Post.

The court found that Menendez and his co-defendants accepted hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes, including a luxury car and gold bars from foreign nationals, in exchange for his influence on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Over nine weeks of testimony, the jury learned how representatives of business interests and the governments of Qatar and Egypt lavished gifts and money on Menendez to take advantage of his position in the Senate.

"According to the indictment, Senator Menendez and his wife ‘agreed to and did accept hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes' in return for Menendez's ‘power and influence as a senator to protect and enrich' the three individuals—named as Wael Hana, Jose Uribe, and Fred Daibes—and ‘to benefit the Arab Republic of Egypt' as well as Qatar," reports my colleague, Spencer Brown at Townhall.

"Mr. Menendez sold the power of his office," prosecutor Paul Monteleoni declared in his closing arguments.

"It wasn't enough for him to be one of the most powerful people in Washington," Monteleoni added. "It wasn't enough for him to be entrusted by the public with the power to approve billions of dollars of US military aid to foreign countries.

Menendez could face as much as 200 years in prison for these crimes. Sentencing will take place Oct. 29... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
