U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., leaves the Manhattan federal court after the second day of his corruption trial, Tuesday, May, 14, 2024, in New York. A federal jury was alternately introduced to Bob Menendez as a bribe-taking U.S. senator who betrayed his country and an American patriot Wednesday as a prosecutor and defence lawyer delivered contrasting visions of the once-powerful Democrat at the start of his New York corruption trial.
Nadine Menendez is charged in the case as well, but her trial has been postponed until at least July because a recently discovered serious medical condition requires surgery. A jury chosen over three days was told by a prosecutor that the trial was about a "public official who put his own interests above his duty to the people."
"This was not politics as usual," she told the jury. This was politics for profit. A U.S. senator on the take." The prosecutor said the corruption scheme began in 2018, soon after the couple began dating that year. Pomerantz, though, said the businessmen showered Menendez and his wife with gifts to ensure Menendez would help them, and evidence will show Daibes' fingerprints and DNA were on cash found in his home.
As a result, he said, Menendez had been withdrawing as much as $400 to $500 a week for decades to store at home, keeping much of it in bags in the home's basement. In 2017, a federal jury deadlocked on corruption charges brought in New Jersey, and prosecutors did not seek to retry him.
