YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Bob Menendez was sentenced to 11 years in prison for acting as a foreign agent of Egypt and accepting gold bars and other bribes in what prosecutors said was perhaps the worst corruption case ever involving a US senator. #politics #newyork #newjersey #crime #worldnews

US District Judge Sidney Stein imposed the sentence on Menendez, 71, saying the New Jersey Democrat was motivated by greed and hubris after a half-century as an elected official. Menendez was convicted after a nine-week trial where prosecutors said he sold his influence to two corrupt businessmen, who received prison terms of seven and eight years earlier Wednesday.
