In January 2019, Senator Robert Menendez placed a seven-minute call to New Jersey's attorney general, Gurbir Grewal, in what prosecutors say was an effort to quash an insurance fraud case.

Prosecutors presented the senator and his wife as close collaborators who spoke regularly and were intimately involved in mundane details of each other's daily lives.
