 In his closing arguments, an attorney for New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez said in all the texts and emails highlighted by prosecutors, nothing proves he took a bribe. He said the gold found in the home closet of the senator's wife, Nadine, was hers and cash around the home found stuffed into hiding spots was in part due to the senator growing up with Cuban parents. They showed a text message from Nadine to the businessmen who are accused of bribing the senator and his wife that indicated she asked them for financial help over her own husband.
