"Senator Menendez's Bribery Trial: Will His Wife Take the Fall?"
Senator Robert Menendez may testify that his wife, Nadine Menendez, hid information from him, leading him to believe that "nothing unlawful was taking place," as part of his defense in the wide-ranging bribery scheme trial. The revelation was contained in court papers unsealed just three weeks before the trial, where both Menendez and his wife are accused of participating in a bribery scheme and have pleaded not guilty. If he testifies, he may disclose communications with his wife that could "tend to exonerate" him but may incriminate her.
