Former New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez was anything but contrite after being sentenced to 11 years in prison on federal corruption charges Wednesday.
The 71-year-old called the case, in which he was found guilty of taking hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of bribes while serving in the Senate, a "political witch hunt." Standing outside the U.S. District Court building in Manhattan, Menendez announced his plans to appeal his case and called upon an unlikely ally.
