"Sen. Bob Menendez Considers Blaming Wife in Corruption Trial, Court Documents Reveal"
TL;DR
Sen. Bob Menendez's legal team may argue that his wife misled him and withheld information about alleged criminal activities, leading him to believe nothing unlawful was taking place. The senator's defense strategy includes testifying about marital communications to decrease any inference of culpability on his part and potentially implicate his wife. The couple will be tried separately on bribery charges, with the senator's trial scheduled for May 6 and his wife's trial set to begin on July 8.
