"Sen. Bob Menendez's Residence Raided, Gold Bars and Cash Seized"
Sen. Bob Menendez is seeking to have evidence suppressed in his bribery prosecution, claiming that FBI agents illegally searched his residence as revenge for defeating a prior prosecution. His lawyers argue that search warrants were riddled with misrepresentations and omissions, and that agents seized "virtually anything of value," including cash and gold bars. Menendez and his wife are charged with accepting bribes of cash, gold bars, and a luxury car over the last five years, and have pleaded not guilty.
