A bid for bail by former New Jersey US Sen. Menendez is rejected by appeals court as prison looms
NEW YORK (AP) — A bid for bail by former U.S. Sen. Robert Menendez while he appeals his bribery conviction was rejected Wednesday by a federal appeals court, a week before the veteran New Jersey politician is scheduled to report to prison. Menendez, 71, was convicted last July of selling his clout for bribes. FBI agents who searched his home three years ago found $480,000, some of it stuffed inside boots and jacket pockets, gold bars worth an estimated $150,000 and a luxury convertible in the garage. Prosecutors said that in exchange, Menendez performed corrupt favors for the New Jersey business owners. They said he tried to protect the men and associates from criminal investigations, helped two in business deals with foreign powers and met with Egyptian intelligence officials before helping that country access $300 million in U.S. military aid. Menendez, a Democrat, has insisted that he is innocent and is seeking to overturn his conviction. He is scheduled to surrender to federal prison authorities on Tuesday. A three-judge panel on the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals denied his bail motion in a brief order issued Wednesday. The decision did not include a rationale, but it said one of the three judges would have granted the motion. An email seeking comment was sent to his attorneys. Menendez, who once served as chair of the influential Senate Foreign Relations Committee, resigned his seat a month after his conviction. He had been in the Senate since 2006. Two business owners also were convicted last year along with Menendez. His wife, Nadine Menendez , was convicted in April of teaming up with her husband to accept bribes from the business owners. Her trial was delayed after she was diagnosed with breast cancer and required surgery . Her sentencing has been set for Sept. 11. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request.

FBI warns of rise in hiring fraud. Glider AI neutralizes the threat. CUPERTINO, Calif., June 11, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Glider AI, the leader in AI-powered hiring and fraud prevention technology, today announced the launch of ID Verify, a secure identity verification product purpose-built to protect enterprises from rapidly growing and increasingly sophisticated hiring fraud. Candidate fraud has evolved beyond resume inflation and false credentials. Today, bad actors are weaponizing deepfakes, synthetic identities, and AI-generated personas to infiltrate hiring pipelines and gain access to sensitive systems. Glider AI's own research found a 92% increase in candidate fraud compared to pre-pandemic levels—an inflection point that exposed the growing vulnerability of digital hiring practices. Further, with the advent of Gen AI solutions in the hands of candidates made impersonation and cheating worse. Glider AI customer, Nimitt Sharma, SVP of Growth and Strategy at Pyramid Consulting, shares, "With candidate fraud growing and becoming more sophisticated, our clients rely on us to deliver talent that's not just skilled but genuine. Cutting edge tools like ID Verify can help mitigate some of that risk and provide added assurance. We can go beyond the resume, validating identity and the integrity of documents, before any placement is made." One high-profile incident involved a Fortune 500 company targeted by North Korean operatives posing as remote software developers. Glider AI's ID Verify capability in tandem with its AI Proctoring technology, flagged the deception before onboarding. The case was escalated to federal authorities, where the FBI leveraged the Glider AI solution to support investigations and preempt future breaches. "Candidate fraud is no longer just a compliance issue—it's a security crisis," said Satish Kumar, CEO of Glider AI. "Foreign adversaries are exploiting the hiring process to gain access to proprietary data and infrastructure. We built ID Verify to close this backdoor before it opens. We catch what others miss, whether it's a fake ID, or a deepfake in a video interview." Unlike conventional ID verification and background check tools, Glider AI ID Verify takes a proactive approach to fraud prevention—before, during, and after the interview process. Fully integrated into the Glider AI hiring platform and fortified with the industry's most advanced AI Proctoring engine, Glider AI not only confirms skills, but also delivers confidence of identity and integrity.

Judge strikes reference to ex-Illinois speaker Madigan's personal fortune from sentencing record
CHICAGO — A federal judge on Tuesday struck from the court record a reference to former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan's personal net worth of more than $40 million, agreeing with the Democrat's defense team that it should have been kept private, even as the attorneys acknowledged the move was 'hollow' given that it was already widely publicized. U.S. District Judge John Robert Blakey said he didn't find any 'bad faith' on the part of the federal prosecutors who included the figure in a filing last week ahead of Madigan's highly anticipated sentencing on Friday, but found that common practice would be to file such personal information under seal. Blakey's ruling came before the attorneys delivered arguments over sentencing guidelines at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse, technically kicking off the sentencing process. Blakey took the matter under advisement until Friday's hearing. Federal prosecutors made Madigan's net worth public for the first time in a response to a sentencing memorandum filed by his attorneys, arguing that the defendant's 'greed is even more appalling given his law firm's success.' Daniel Collins, an attorney for Madigan, called the inclusion of the former speaker's personal fortune improper and a 'gratuitous effort' to publicly identify his net worth. 'It is not necessary to include the number in order for the government to make an argument about greed,' Collins said. But Assistant U.S. Attorney Sarah Streicker countered to the judge that the defense left the door open by arguing in filings that Madigan was solely motivated by a desire to help people. She also said the figure is relevant as the government seeks a fine in the case. 'It's fair for the government to rebut that narrative and show the defendant was motivated by greed not need,' Streicker said. 'This is a defendant that enjoyed every advantage and significant financial wealth and still turned to bribery and fraud.' In February, Madigan was convicted of 10 of 23 counts, including marquee allegations that he agreed to squeeze lucrative, do-nothing contracts from ComEd for pals such as former Ald. Frank Olivo and Ald. Michael Zalewski and precinct captains Ray Nice and Edward Moody, all while the utility won a series of major legislation victories. Madigan was also convicted on six of seven counts — including wire fraud and Travel Act violations — regarding a plan to get former Ald. Daniel Solis, a key FBI mole who testified at length in the trial, appointed to a state board. Jurors deadlocked on all six counts related to Madigan's co-defendant former ComEd lobbyist Michael McClain. _______
