Jose Uribe, a star witness in the prosecution's case against Sen. Bob Menendez, will continue testifying about buying Nadine Menendez a luxury car.
Washington — A star witness who testified about bribing New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez will be back on the stand Monday. Jose Uribe, a New Jersey insurance broker, told jurors last week that he bought the Democratic senator's wife, Nadine Menendez, a new Mercedes-Benz convertible in exchange for the senator's 'power and influence' to stop criminal investigations into his business associates.
' Prosecutors allege Menendez called New Jersey state Attorney General Gurbir Grewal to try to disrupt the insurance fraud case in January 2019. The alleged interference didn't work, however, and Uribe's business associate eventually pleaded guilty. But the investigation into Uribe's employee, whom he considers to be a daughter, continued.
