Former Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) condemned his corruption case as a “political prosecution” and pointed to President Donald Trump’s legal battles as evidence of a corrupt justice system after being sentenced to 11 years in prison on Wednesday.
“President Trump was right,” Menendez said outside the New York federal courthouse. “This process is political, and it’s corrupted to the core. I hope President Trump cleans up the cesspool and restores the integrity to the system.”
