The FBI released on Friday photos showing the different assets embattled Sen. Bob Menendez had in his house and are central in the bribery allegations against him. Cash stuffed into boots and in jackets with his name embroidered and over a dozen gold bars stood out among the more than 100 pictures published.
The FBI said that there was close to half a million dollars in Menendez's house, where he lives with his wife Nadine, also charged in the case, in which both have been accused of using the senator's influence to benefit the governments of Qatar and Egypt in exchange for money and gifts.
