"Prosecutors Separate Sen. Bob Menendez's Bribery Trial from Wife's Due to Medical Issues"
Federal prosecutors have challenged Senator Robert Menendez's explanation for the $486,000 in cash found in his home, stating that some of the money was withdrawn from a bank where he had no known account, indicating it was provided by another person. The cash, along with other valuable items, is alleged to be the "fruits" of a bribery scheme, forming a critical part of the government's case against the senator and his wife.
