Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., may provide testimony that incriminates his wife Nadine amid their federal corruption trial, which is set to begin in May.
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., is expected to blame his wife during his federal corruption trial as part of a defense strategy, newly-unsealed court documents reveal. In court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, attorneys for Sen. Menendez argued for his case to be severed because of his intention to introduce evidence that would imply his wife, Nadine, is guilty. Severing a case means that the co-defendants would be tried separately in two trials, rather than in one as a couple.
The senator's trial is scheduled to begin on May 6, while his wife's is planned for July 8. Fox News Digital's Pilar Arias and Jamie Joseph contributed to this report.
