New Jersey Superior Court Judge Robert Lougy permanently barred former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez from holding any public office or position of public trust in New Jersey, the state attorney general announced. The order follows Menendez’s July 2024 conviction on 16 counts and his 11-year sentence in January 2025 for taking bribes in gold and cash and acting as a foreign agent; AG Matt Platkin said Menendez would face a fourth-degree contempt charge if he ever applies for public office.
