U.S. Senator Bob Menendez has been found guilty on all 18 counts in his federal corruption trial.

The conviction includes charges such as bribery, extortion, wire fraud, obstruction of justice, and acting as a foreign agent. The FBI seized 13 gold bars, nearly $500,000 in cash, and a Mercedes-Benz from Menendez's home.
