From gold bars to a pricey car: All the bribes Sen. Bob Menendez has been accused of accepting over the yearsin September on charges they accepted bribes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars from three New Jersey businessmen who sought favors from the senator. “Is there, in this case, a duffel bag stuffed with cash somewhere?” the doctor’s attorney asked jurors in closing arguments in that case. “No, there’s none of that.”

She’s scheduled to stand trial in July. By comparison, Kim, the likely Democratic nominee, had $4.1 million on hand and has raised about $7.8 million since announcing his candidacy.
