Ex-New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, convicted of bribery, did not attend his wife's trial where she faces similar charges. Nadine Menendez allegedly collaborated with Bob to accept bribes, including gold bars and a luxury car, from business associates. Prosecutors claim they operated as partners in crime and corruption. Bob Menendez's prison sentence has been delayed to allow him to provide emotional support to Nadine during this challenging time, highlighting the intertwined nature of their legal troubles.
"They were partners in crime, partners in corruption, and partners in greed," prosecutor Lara Pomerantz said in her opening statement.
Bob Menendez needs to be present in Nadine's life "throughout the trial for his wife's emotional and physical support," his lawyer wrote in a December letter.
