"New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez was found guilty Tuesday of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars of bribes — including 1-kilogram gold bars — in exchange for using his powerful post to enrich and protect three businessmen and the Egyptian and Qatari governments.

The bombshell jury verdict — guilty on all 18 counts — was delivered in Manhattan federal court after about 12½ hours of deliberations spread over three days.

It capped a nine-week trial that revealed how the senator leveraged his position as the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to cater to the whims of men who showered him and his wife with gold, cash and gifts including a Mercedes-Benz convertible."
