Former Senator Bob Menendez faces up to 15 years in prison after being convicted of bribery.
Former U.S. Senator Bob Menendez, convicted of bribery, faces sentencing with prosecutors seeking a 15-year prison term. Menendez, accused of receiving bribes including gold bars and a luxury car, has been convicted of acting as an agent of the Egyptian government. His lawyers argue for a sentence of less than two years, citing his public service and life achievements. Two businessmen convicted of paying bribes, Wael Hana and Fred Daibes, will also be sentenced. Menendez has maintained his innocence.
