New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez has been found guilty in his federal corruption trial.
The veteran Democrat was accused of accepting cash and gold bars in exchange for official favors involving two New Jersey businessmen. Menendez was charged with bribery, extortion, and wire fraud, and could face decades behind prison. His wife, Nadine, was standing trial on the same charges, but that's been delayed indefinitely while she recovers from breast cancer surgery.
