After a political career that included almost two decades as a Democrat in the United States Senate, Bob Menendez is looking at spending more than a decade in a United States federal prison.<\/p>\n

And after a ruling Wednesday by a federal appeals court, he\u2019s going to be behind bars while his appeal plays out.<\/p>\n

But Menendez, convicted in July of last year<\/a> of 16 corruption charges, is still claiming he was the victim of a prosecution vendetta.<\/p>\n

Appeals court denies former Sen. Bob Menendez\u2019s bid to stay out of prison https:\/\/t.co\/TrPgpYcFuz<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 The Hill (@thehill) June 11, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wednesday\u2019s decision by a panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals judges denied a bid for bail that Menendez sought while he appeals his conviction, according to the Associated Press<\/a>. The 2-1 ruling did not include any explanation, but its impact was evident.<\/p>\n

Unless the Supreme Court takes up the case, Menendez, who is scheduled to report to prison on Tuesday, is going to be serving his 11-year sentence even as he fights to get the conviction overturned.<\/p>\n

The case of the former New Jersey senator, who resigned from the Senate after his conviction, was not only a disgrace to the government and the Garden State, it became a national joke, with its FBI raid turning up gold bars<\/a>, as well as copious amounts of cash<\/a> hidden in the Menendez home.<\/p>\n

In 2023, then-Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz argued on the House floor<\/a> that Menendez demanding bribes in gold bars was a sign of how inflation had gotten under then-President Joe Biden.<\/p>\n

Even the infamously liberal<\/a> comedian Jon Stewart mocked Menendez<\/a> on Comedy Central\u2019s \u201cThe Daily Show.\u201d<\/p>\n

But Menendez continues to claim innocence and is fighting for his political reputation.<\/p>\n

In a lengthy thread<\/a> posted to the social media platform X on Wednesday, he argued that his case was a result of \u201cweaponization\u201d in the legal system, overseen by a prosecutor using it to advance his own political career.<\/p>\n

He wrote that Damian Williams, the now former U.S. attorney who handled his case for the Justice Department\u2019s Southern District of New York office, is a protege of former U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland<\/a> and an ally of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg<\/a> \u2014 and implicitly likened his own prosecution to the legal assaults mounted by those men against now-President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe bottom line is that Damian Williams is going to run for public office and all of these prosecutions are just ways for him to build credibility for a future political career,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

Some social media users saw the thread as part of an effort to get help from the White House.<\/p>\n

Mendez\u2019s wife, Nadine, was convicted of accepting bribes during a separate trial in April, the AP noted. Her sentencing is set for Sept. 11.<\/p>\n
