Menendez convicted on all charges in federal trial
Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez guilty on all charges in federal corruption trial
The jury in the federal corruption trial of Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and two of his business associates, Fred Daibes and Wael Hana, found Menendez guilty on all charges after a grueling nine-week complex trial in Manhattan.
Menendez pleaded not guilty to federal charges that he accepted an array of bribes in exchange for helping foreign governments. Jurors deliberated for three days.
"Prosecutors have not come close to meeting their burden to show you that any of the gold or cash was given to Senator Menendez as a bribe," Menendez's defense attorney, Adam Fee, said in his closing statements, which began concluded last Wednesday.
"The absence of evidence should be held against the prosecution," he said.
He added the prosecution's evidence "is overwhelmingly clear that this story is shaky and rotten to its core."
