Menendezes' Intriguing Legal Saga Unveiled: Diamonds, Gold Bars, and Secret Recordings

Prosecutors have revealed new details in the bribery case against Senator Robert Menendez, alleging that a diamond engagement ring for his future wife was part of the elaborate scheme. The court filing includes information about a trove of bribes, including a luxury car, gold bars, exercise equipment, and stacks of cash. The case also involves infighting between co-defendants, with an Egyptian-American businessman accused of attempting to cheat Ms. Menendez out of the full value of the ring, threatening to derail plans for the senator to assist the government of Egypt. Senator Menendez, his wife, and two other defendants have pleaded not guilty.
