Star Witness Testifies Against Sen. Bob Menendez in Bribery Trial

Businessman Jose Uribe details alleged exchanges of lavish gifts for political favors, portraying Menendez as a powerful figure in the scheme.

Jose Uribe, a key witness, testified about purchasing a Mercedes Benz for Menendez's wife in exchange for help with criminal investigations.
Uribe described Menendez as a 'Godfather-like' character who boasted about his influence and actions.
The testimony includes claims that Menendez intervened in state legal matters to benefit Uribe and other associates.
Menendez's defense argues he was unaware of the alleged bribery and was acting out of concern for Latino truckers.
The trial is expected to continue into July, with Nadine Menendez facing a separate trial due to health issues.
