NEW YORK, June 11 (Reuters) – A New Jersey businessman testified this week at U.S. Senator Bob Menendez’s corruption trial that the lawmaker claimed to have “saved” the insurance broker, who bought Menendez’s wife a $60,000 Mercedes-Benz, from criminal probes.
Star prosecution witness Jose Uribe told jurors he bribed Menendez by buying a car for the senator’s then-girlfriend Nadine in 2019. Uribe said Nadine Menendez, who married Bob Menendez in 2020, had previously assured him she would relay Uribe’s concerns about two insurance fraud probes to the senator.
