 Bob Menendez had maintained throughout this trial that he was not guilty, arguing that the gifts he accepted were not bribes because the prosecution couldn't prove he took any specific action as a result of receiving them. But now a guilty verdict has been delivered. His wife also faces charges which she denies in the bribery case. His lawyers have tried to shift the blame to his wife, arguing she was a financially troubled individual who hoped to get cash and assets any way she could.
