Sen. Bob Menendez was found guilty on all charges including bribery and extortion that were brought by federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York.

Menendez was initially charged in September 2023 alongside his wife, Nadine Arslanian Menendez, and three New Jersey businessmen, Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes. In their initial filing of charges — and in three subsequent superseding indictments — prosecutors alleged that Menendez and Arslanian Menendez engaged in a bribery scheme that involved New Jersey's senior senator acting as an agent for Egypt and Qatar.

In all, the jury deliberated on 18 counts -- the senator faced 16 of them -- including conspiracy to obstruct justice and obstruction of justice. Uribe pleaded guilty to seven charges and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. He was a star witness during the trial and awaits sentencing. Arslanian Menendez goes to trial Aug. 5.
