Senator Bob Menendez sent this message in an email to supporters:

After these difficult weeks, above all, I want to express my gratitude to you, and the countless others who stood by me as I fought to clear my name in court. I have many people to thank: my family, colleagues, my community, my supporters, and the many who believed in me and hoped for a just outcome.

Despite wrongful allegations and prosecution, at the end of the day, justice prevailed. This unfair trial has only strengthened my resolve as a public servant to always fight for what is right. I am more determined than ever to challenge injustice at every turn and stand up to evil when it undermines our values as Americans.

Thank you,

Senator Menendez
