Senator Bob Menendez and his wife are still in hot water in the case that has seen them accused of being involved in a wide-ranging bribery scheme. Now, new evidence has arisen regarding the use of gold bars, one of the methods of payment allegedly received.
In a new set of court papers reported by NBC, prosecutors alleged that Nadine Menendez, the senator's wife, told a "a false cover story" to a jeweler, "claiming that the gold had come from her deceased mother." A staffer for Bob Menendez gave a similar explanation.
