The disgraced New Jersey senator Robert Menendez is expected to resign today just over a month after being convicted of bribery charges that could see him sentenced to years in prison.
Menendez, 70, a three-term senator, was found guilty by a jury in a Manhattan courtroom of 16 counts of corruption, including bribery, extortion and acting as a foreign agent. A years-long investigation found Menendez had accepted bribes in the form of cash and gold bars in exchange for helping the governments of Qatar and Egypt.
