U.S. Senator Robert Menendez, along with his wife and two business associates, is set to face a bribery trial on May 6. The charges involve allegations of corruption, with Menendez seeking to exclude evidence related to his lifestyle, spending habits, and information about his campaign donors. In the month leading up to the trial, Menendez has been active in his senatorial duties, notably grilling a Treasury official on measures to curb illicit finance. Additionally, his wife, also a co-defendant in the trial, has requested a delay in the proceedings, citing health issues. This request for postponement comes amidst references to Menendez as 'Gold Bars' Sen. Bob Menendez, highlighting the nature of the allegations against him.
