Senator Robert Menendez, facing a bribery trial, may attribute culpability to his wife, Nadine Menendez, according to newly unsealed court documents. The documents suggest that Senator Menendez might testify that his wife was the primary recipient of the money and concealed the illicit activities from him, leading him to believe no unlawful actions were occurring.
