New Jersey Businessman Testifies Against Sen. Menendez in Bribery Case

A New Jersey businessman testified in federal court on Friday that he believed he had a $200,000-to-$250,000 deal with Sen. Bob Menendez in 2018 for the Democrat to pressure the New Jersey attorney general’s office to stop investigating his friends and family. The businessman, Jose Uribe, is the key witness for the government in the bribery case against Menendez and two other businessmen. Menendez, 70, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he accepted gold bars, cash, and a luxury car in return for doing favors for the businessmen.
