"Senator Menendez's Legal Strategy: Blaming His Wife in Federal Corruption Trial"

Sen. Bob Menendez is expected to blame his wife, Nadine, during his federal corruption trial as part of his defense strategy, with court documents revealing his intention to introduce evidence implying her guilt. The couple, both pleading not guilty to bribery and obstruction of justice charges, are accused of accepting bribes for the benefit of various business persons and the Egyptian government. Menendez's attorneys suggest he may testify about communications with his wife to exonerate himself but implicate Nadine, who allegedly withheld information from him. The trial is scheduled to begin on May 6 for the senator and July 8 for his wife.
