\n

Disgraced former Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., has been permanently barred from holding public office in New Jersey<\/a> following his conviction for taking hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in gold bars and cash, the New Jersey attorney general announced.<\/p>\n

Menendez, who was given an 11-year prison sentence in January, is also prohibited from holding any position of public trust in the state, New Jersey Superior Court Judge Robert Lougy ruled.<\/p>\n

The former lawmaker was found guilty in July 2024 of 16 counts of bribery, extortion, conspiracy and obstruction of justice. He is the first U.S. senator<\/a> in American history to be convicted of working as a foreign agent, and his sentence is the harshest ever handed down to a U.S. senator.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Critical to preserving the public’s faith and trust in government institutions is ensuring that elected officials who commit crimes involving their offices don\u2019t find new opportunities to regain positions of power,”\u00a0New Jersey Attorney General Matt Platkin said in a statement. “Too many people in New Jersey have a cynical viewpoint that corruption is a routine, widespread feature of our politics. We hope the court\u2019s decision sends a message that it is not acceptable, and it will carry consequences.”<\/p>\n

Menendez, the former chairman of the Senate\u2019s Foreign Relations Committee, will face a fourth-degree contempt-of-court charge if he ever applies for public office or public employment.<\/p>\n

MENENDEZ TO REPORT TO PRISON FOR 11-YEAR TERM FOR CORRUPTION<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

According to federal prosecutors, Menendez and his wife, Nadine Menendez, accepted bribes between 2018 and 2022. Along with gold bars and cash, they also received a luxury convertible<\/a> car, home furnishings and other items of value, the state attorney general\u2019s office said. She was also accused of receiving paychecks for a job that did not exist.<\/p>\n

In exchange,\u00a0the\u00a0senator agreed to use his power and influence on Capitol Hill to protect the bribe payers’ interests and to benefit foreign countries<\/a>, including by taking a series of official acts to benefit the government of Egypt.<\/p>\n

The indictment against Menendez came after co-defendant Jose Uribe \u2014 who allegedly gifted Nadine a Mercedes convertible \u2014 accepted a plea deal and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Menendez had pleaded his innocence and claimed the process was political and “corrupted to the core.”<\/p>\n

“I hope President [Donald] Trump<\/a> cleans up the cesspool and restores the integrity to the system,” Menendez told reporters at his sentencing. \u00a0<\/p>\n
