Gold bars from Egypt, thousands of dollars in pockets of clothes hidden in the closet, and gifts like Mercedes Benz to a Senator’s wife are things we have come to expect from America’s politicians, and that’s exactly what Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ) is on trial for now. Menendez has been removed from the Foreign Affairs Committee but remains in the Senate.
The allegations include $468,000 in cash given to Menendez with involvement with the Egyptian and Qatari government. This trial will be a combination of ‘Law and Order’ and ‘Housewives of New Jersey’ as Menendez’s wife, Nadine, is accused of bringing the parties together after she met Menendez in 2018.
Nadine Menendez was known to befriend reality TV celebrities prior to her engagement with Menendez, including the cast of ‘New Jersey Housewives’ and ‘Mob Wives.’ Nadine and Bob Menendez first met at an IHOP and were married in 2020. This trial is going to be more than interesting as the Department of Justice seeks to put Menendez behind bars.
Also, what exactly has Michael Cohen said in the ‘hush money trial’ of Donald Trump in New York?
After two days on the witness stand, Cohen’s testimony has been exactly what most expected: a whole lot of nothing new. In this episode of ‘Truth Be Told with Booker Scott, ’ we get into the details of both of these trials and also take a look at the alarming percentage of people in America who were not born in the country. Would you believe estimates put the number at 80 million by 2040?
