Federal prosecutors are seeking a 15-year prison sentence for former Senator Bob Menendez, convicted of corruption charges, including taking bribes and acting as a foreign agent for Egypt while leading the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Federal prosecutors are requesting a 15-year prison sentence for former Senator Bob Menendez, convicted of 16 corruption charges, including bribery and acting as a foreign agent for Egypt while chairing the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York described Menendez’s actions as "extraordinary," citing the unprecedented nature of his crimes, including the abuse of his Senate leadership role.
Menendez resigned following his conviction but has since sought to have it overturned, arguing that jurors were mistakenly given access to excluded evidence. He is also requesting a lighter sentence, citing personal and professional losses.
U.S. District Court Judge Sidney Stein will sentence Menendez and two co-defendants, Wael Hana and Fred Daibes, later this month. Prosecutors are recommending 10 years for Hana and 9 years for Daibes.
