US Senator Bob Menendez found guilty on all counts in corruption trial

Published 2024-07-16
Menendez responded to the verdict and said, "Obviously, I'm deeply, deeply disappointed by the jury's decision. I have every faith that the law and the facts did not sustain that decision, and that we will be successful upon appeal."
U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said, "This wasn't politics as usual — this was politics for profit. And now that a jury has convicted Bob Menendez, his years of selling his office to the highest bidder have finally come to an end."
Menendez, who had pleaded not guilty in the case, did not testify in his own defense. His sentencing is scheduled for October 29.

I like how court found him guilty and he's like "No, didn't happened." Astonishing shamelessness.

This is the same guy who accused the current president of El Salvador Nayib Bukele of corruption, wanting to open an investigation in a New York court. I love happy endings.

I guess the judicial system does work in the USA.

How he can sit there and say that with a straight face is unbelievable

Not because you are a president or a senator or the lowest paid workers, dosen't mean you are above the law or prosecution.
