New Jersey businessman Jose Uribe testified in the bribery trial of Sen. Bob Menendez, claiming he bribed the senator to disrupt criminal investigations and save his business. Uribe alleged Menendez promised to impede an insurance fraud investigation in exchange for a luxury car for his wife. The prosecution's star witness revealed details of the alleged bribery, including Menendez boasting about saving the businessman. Menendez's defense team cross-examined Uribe, challenging his credibility. The trial was briefly suspended due to a co-defendant's illness.
