Prosecutors Spotlight Wife's Role in Menendez Bribery Trial

At Sen. Bob Menendez's bribery trial, prosecutors presented evidence of his wife's financial desperation before New Jersey businessmen allegedly provided financial aid in exchange for political favors. The trial, featuring hundreds of communications and testimony from an FBI agent, aims to prove that Menendez conspired with his wife and three businessmen in a bribery scheme involving gold bars, cash, and a luxury car. Menendez and his co-defendants have pleaded not guilty, with defense lawyers arguing that Menendez's actions were within the bounds of typical political conduct.
