Overview

"A U.S. senator currently in office, gold bar stacks, and a resounding guilty conviction on 16 federal fraud, bribery, and extortion counts: The conviction of Senator Bob Menendez on Tuesday is possibly the greatest victory over public corruption for federal prosecutors in the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office in recent memory. After finding Menendez guilty of bribery, serving as an Egyptian foreign agent, obstruction, extortion, and conspiracy, the trial brought down one of the most powerful figures in Washington and threatened to send him to prison for many years. It was also a relief for the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office's public corruption unit, which has had conflicting outcomes in cases involving public officials, mostly as a result of decisions made by the Supreme Court that have restricted the federal laws that can be utilized to investigate claims of corruption. Regarding Menendez and his co-defendants, Andrew Goldstein, a former head of the public corruption unit and top aide to former special counsel Robert Mueller during his probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election, stated, ""These convictions were critical for my former office."" They ""show that the government can still bring and win important cases against high-level government officials, even after the Supreme Court significantly curtailed enforcement of public corruption laws,"" according to Goldstein. Former office public corruption prosecutor Martin Bell stated that the Menendez case ""is definitely a sort of signature case for the office and for [Manhattan U.S. Attorney] Damian Williams and for the idea that there are types of public corruption that still seem likely to stand up"" in court.
