A former New Jersey attorney general is expected to testify Thursday.
Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine leave federal court in Manhattan on March 11 after being arraigned on new charges in the case. | Spencer Platt/Getty Images’s corruption trial laid the groundwork Wednesday for some of their star witnesses to soon take the stand, including a former New Jersey attorney general who is expected to testify Thursday.
The point of Uribe’s bribe, prosecutors allege, was to get the senator’s help disrupting a state criminal case and investigation, both related to insurance fraud.Uribe already knew Menendez, for whom he hosted a 2018 cocktail reception fundraiser. According to a timeline from prosecutors, he was suddenly in close contact with Nadine Menendez after her wreck, in part through her friend Wael “Will” Hana, an Egyptian American business person also accused of paying bribes to the Menendezes.
A few days earlier, the senator, after a half-hour-long FaceTime call between the couple, texted her an Instagram image of graduation caps being thrown in the air and text that read, “Ask yourself if what you’re doing today is getting you closer to where you want to be tomorrow.” Minutes earlier, she’d texted Uribe the last four digits of her Social Security number, which Uribe later sent a trucking industry associate.
