Former U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez faces the possibility of a long prison term when he is sentenced Wednesday for taking bribes of gold bars, a luxury car and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash. Prosecutors have asked a judge to give the Democrat 15 years behind bars for crimes that include acting as an agent of the Egyptian government.
