ai generated text

Bob Menendez, a 70-year-old US Senator from New Jersey, has been found guilty of accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes. Prosecutors alleged that he used his power and influence to steer hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Cairo, Egypt, in exchange for the bribes. The jury delivered its verdict on Tuesday after deliberating for over 12 hours, convicting Menendez on all 16 criminal counts he faced, including bribery and acting as an unregistered foreign agent.

    1. This is a dark, painful day for the people of New Jersey.
    2. Representing people in Congress demands the public's trust. When any elected official violates that trust, it is a betrayal of the oath we take to serve the people who've elected us.
