The trial against embattled senator Bob Menendez is set to begin on May 13. He faces a series of charges revolving around taking bribes in exchange for political favors.

The latest development on the case has to do with a request by Menendez to have a psychiatrist testify about his habit of stockpiling cash, as authorities found almost half a million dollars in envelopes and coats, as well as 13 gold bars worth more than $100,000 in his house. They also found almost $80,000 from his wife Nadine's safety deposit box in a nearby bank.
