The federal corruption trial of Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., and his business associates, Fred Daibes and Wael Hana, concluded with a guilty verdict after a nine-week trial in Manhattan. Menendez was found guilty on all 16 charges, exposing him to a potential sentence of up to 200 years in prison.
Menendez had pleaded not guilty to charges of accepting bribes in exchange for assisting foreign governments. The jury deliberated for three days before reaching a unanimous decision. The sentencing date for Menendez has been set for October 29.
