"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.

"Trump's Jury Manipulation Tactics Face Unprecedented Challenge"

Former President Donald Trump could face a challenging audience unlike any he's faced before as he prepares to potentially take the stand in his own defense in four criminal cases. The composition of the jury panel will play a crucial role in determining the outcome of the trials, with experts emphasizing the importance of jury selection. Trump's co-defendants in the Georgia case have sought to relocate the trial to a more politically favorable jurisdiction. The trial in South Florida, where Trump is accused of violating the Espionage Act, will likely draw jurors from a region that heavily favored Trump in previous elections. The outcome of the trials could hinge on the views and biases of individual jurors.

Trump's Trial Delay Tactics: A Strategic Defense Move

Former President Donald Trump's defense lawyers are employing delay tactics in his criminal case, requesting a trial date be postponed indefinitely. They argue that the case requires careful review of the procedures leading to the indictment and claim that jury selection during a presidential campaign would be biased. The defense also highlights the potential delays caused by handling classified documents and obtaining security clearances. These tactics, reminiscent of renowned criminal defense attorney Douglas Rankin, aim to push the trial into the presidential election period, where Trump could potentially dismiss the case or seek a self-pardon.
