Confessed crooked businessman says he's honest about bribes to NJ Sen. Menendez
in exchange for getting help with criminal investigations into his companies, looking to call into question whether he can be trusted to tell the truth.
Uribe also testified that Menendez told him he had “saved your little a--” when the men went out to celebrate the completion of their deal. Prosecutors allege the senator took cash and lavish gifts from Uribe and two other businessmen, and did favors for them and foreign governments. “There was no mention of a bribe, is that correct?” Solano asked about the help Hana offered to Uribe. “You didn’t know if it was legal or illegal.”
That is key to Hana’s defense because his attorneys are arguing that he was a good friend who was generous and trying to help, and the mortgage payments were a loan.
