Senator Menendez Alleges Illegal Seizure of Gold Bars and Cash in FBI Raid

Senator Robert Menendez's lawyers are seeking to suppress evidence seized during FBI searches of his properties, claiming that the warrants were issued based on distorted evidence. The searches, which turned up bars of gold and half a million dollars in cash, were part of a federal investigation into the Democrat from New Jersey, who was accused of accepting cash, gold, and a luxury car in exchange for political favors. Menendez's lawyers argue that the FBI "ransacked" his home and engaged in "exploratory rummaging," and are seeking to have the seized evidence thrown out.
