Nadine Menendez Found Guilty on Bribery Charges.

Nadine Menendez, the wife of Bob Menendez, was convicted on Monday of participating in her husband’s bribery scheme.  According to a report in the New York Times, Nadine Menendez used her influence with the Egyptian business community to make her husband a foreign agent. Jurors in Ms Menendez’s trial heard that she had accepted cash in return for granting access to her husband. According to a report in Politico, this case brought by the Southern District of New York may be the last of its kind for a while, as there have been resignations, and the Trump administration has other priorities than fighting corruption. It will be fascinating to see what type of sentence Menendez gets, unless President Trump pressures the Department of Justice like he did around Eric Adams.
