A New Jersey businessman has told a jury that Sen. Bob Menendez told him he'd look into a state criminal probe threatening his business and later assured him there was no threat
A New Jersey businessman who prosecutors say bribed Sen. Bob Menendez testified Monday that the Democrat told him in summer 2019 that he’d look into a state criminal probe threatening his business and later assured him there was no threat and boasted about saving him.
He said he told Bob Menendez that he was concerned that a probe of a friend's trucking business was causing investigators to look at his insurance business and the senator said he would look into it. “I asked him to help get peace for me and my family,” Uribe said.
