STORYLINE:
U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez has been convicted of accepting bribes of cash, gold and a luxury car from three New Jersey businessmen.
The jury’s verdict was read Tuesday at a federal courthouse in New York City.
Prosecutors said the New Jersey Democrat abused his power to protect allies from criminal investigations and enrich associates through acts that included meeting with Egyptian intelligence officials and helping that country access millions in U.S. military aid.
Menendez didn’t testify, but he’s insisted he was only doing his job as the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
He said gold bars found in his home belonged to his wife.
