TL;DR
Sen. Bob Menendez's legal team has filed court documents suggesting that if he testifies in his bribery trial, he may blame his wife for allegedly accepting money and hiding the truth from him. The documents state that his testimony could exonerate him but implicate his wife, who is also facing separate trials due to a medical condition. Menendez and his wife, along with two businessmen, have pleaded not guilty to bribery charges, with one businessman admitting guilt and cooperating with prosecutors.
