U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., at center right, and his wife, Nadine Menendez, center rear, leave Manhattan Federal Court in New York City following his arraignment, March 11, 2024.
Sen. Bob Menendez questioned a Treasury Department official Tuesday on curbing illegal finance as he prepares to stand trial in a month with his wife and two other men on federal bribery charges.
Menendez also slammed the Biden administration for not stopping Iran under current sanctions from selling its oil to entities in countries including China.
"None of that money has gone to Iran, and that money is not going to go directly to Iran," Adeyemo said.
His wife, Nadine Menendez, and two of the businessmen, Wael Hana and Fred Daibes, will be tried with him.
