Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife are seeking separate trials on bribery charges they each face in a New York court.
The New Jersey Democrat and his wife, Nadine, were each charged in the fall with aiding three New Jersey businessmen in return for cash, gold bars and a luxury car.
The couple and the businessmen, who also face charges, have all pleaded not guilty.
Nadine Menendez’s lawyers asked in papers filed late Monday for the severance on the grounds that the senator may want to testify at a trial scheduled to start in May and may divulge marital communications that she plans to keep secret.

JFC this guy is a fucking criminal and should be locked the fuck up, but GOTDAMN the juxtaposition with trump is fucking jarring, that traitor cunt should hang and he may just get to be dictator instead.
It surprises me that the rightwing media doesn’t mention him that much. They are really into whataboutism and he really is a great example of corruption.
Except that he is going through the legal system the same as Trump.
Trump’s supporters want to paint Trump’s legal problems as political retribution. It is a lot harder to do when a senior Democrat is going through the same thing.
Yeah but he has had legal issues for a long time now.
Both have.
Yeah somehow the judicial system is able to take action on this guy.
You can’t try a husband and a wife for the came crime!
I got the worst fucking attorneys.
NO TOUCHING!
