Read about the trial's first day here: Bob ‘Gold Bars’ Menendez throws wife under the bus claiming she hid bribes in opening statements at trial:
These are the same gold bars and cash that were stashed in places far from Menendez's control, such as inside the pockets of his clothes hanging in his closets. In a courtroom in downtown Manhattan on Wednesday, defense lawyer Avi Weitzman told the jury that the senator knew nothing of the gold bars and cash, which had been recovered from his New Jersey home by FBI agents in June 2022.
Mr. Weitzman argued that it was Nadine Menendez who accepted the lavish bribes, hid them from her husband and then served as a messenger between the senator, his co-defendants and Egyptian officials.
Oh, she's fiendishly clever alright. I can't imagine how she tricked Menendez into doing things in his official capacity that advanced the financial interests of his co-defendants without his ever catching on.
Will this trickster wife accusation work? Will this New Jersey jury hang up the way the last one did?
More to come.

Bob did! Lololololololol
Bob is getting snarky media coverage today about his lavish self-spending of campaign funds, a lot of which occurs at his favorite steak house.
Apparently, you just can't separate an elected official from his campaign funds! He even has the legal option of borrowing them all and never paying it back (to himself).
Bon appetite, Bob!
