Nadine Menendez was convicted Monday of cooking up a crooked scheme with her husband — ex-New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez — to sell out his political post for gold bars, a Mercedes-Benz and other bribes.
Jurors found the 58-year-old Englewood Cliffs resident guilty of all 15 federal corruption charges against her following about eight hours of deliberations over two days.
Wearing all-black save for a pink mask over her face, Nadine showed no discernible emotion as the jury foreman read out the guilty verdict inside a sparsely filled Manhattan federal courtroom.
