"Menendez, 70, wearing a blue suit and pink tie, sat with his head bowed at the defense table and kept a poker face while the jury forewoman read the word ‘guilty' 18 times, for each count that he and his two co-defendants faced," reports the New York Post.

"Mr. Menendez sold the power of his office," prosecutor Paul Monteleoni declared in his closing arguments.

"It wasn't enough for him to be one of the most powerful people in Washington," Monteleoni added.
