Senator Bob Menendez's lawyers are seeking to suppress evidence seized in FBI searches, including $500,000 in cash and 13 gold bars, alleging that the FBI misled judges to obtain search warrants. Menendez, who along with his wife and three businessmen, is charged in a yearslong bribery conspiracy, claims the evidence was illegally obtained. His attorneys argue that prosecutors distorted evidence during the search of his residence and want a New York judge to dismiss much of it, particularly because Menendez defeated a prior prosecution in New Jersey.
