Sen. Bob Menendez of New Jersey is accused of trading his influence and power to foreign governments.
An FBI agent who led the search of Sen. Bob Menendez's home, in which federal investigators discovered more than a dozen gold bars and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash, testified Thursday in the New Jersey Democrat's corruption trial. Prosecutors showed jurors two one-kilogram gold bars and several $100 bills that were confiscated from the home Menendez shares with his wife, Nadine, in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.
He is cooperating with the prosecution, agreeing to testify in the case. Defense lawyer Lawrence Lustberg, arguing on Hana's behalf, accused prosecutors of 'criminalizing friendships.' He portrayed Hana as assumed by the government to be guilty by association with Daibes and Uribe.
