On June 17, 2025, former US senator Bob Menendez showed up to federal prison to begin his 11 year sentence for bribery. From 2018 to 2022, Menendez and his wife Nadine Menendez exercised extreme abuse of power, specifically in relation to Bob's position as the Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and throughout his tenure as a member of the Senate from 2006 to 2022.

So, who is Bob? Let’s paint a picture of how this career politician devolved into selling his own clout for bribes, becoming the “Gold Bar Bob” that we know today.
