Sen. Bob Menendez may blame alleged crimes on wife if he testifies: Court documents

  • Sen. Bob Menendez may seek exoneration at his May bribery trial by blaming his wife for keeping him unaware of potentially illegal actions in her dealings with New Jersey businessmen.
  • Menendez could testify about exculpatory communications with his wife if he chooses to take the witness stand in his defense, according to unsealed court papers.
  • Lawyers suggested a trial strategy where they may argue that any crimes committed involved actions of others, potentially including Menendez's wife, rather than the senator himself.
