Cash stuffed into boots. Envelopes of bills tucked inside jackets emblazoned with the senator's name. Gold bars.
Prosecutors in the Sen. Bob Menendez bribery case on Friday released more than 100 photos of the cash and gold seized from the New Jersey Democrat's home, presenting a clearer picture of the evidence shaping his high-profile bribery trial.

Menendez is charged with accepting "hundreds of thousands of dollars" in bribes in return for official government acts.
The FBI said that more than $486,000 in cash was found in his home in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey, which he shares with his wife Nadine Menendez, who also faces charges. She will stand trial separately. Both have pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors from the Southern District of New York entered the photos as part of their trial exhibits. Although Menendez's house is located in New Jersey, SDNY is prosecuting the case because some of the alleged misconduct by the senator had ties to New York.
Dozens of photos show stacks of bills tucked inside bags, shoes and jackets. One photo shows a stack of bills that prosecutors say totals $4,300, found in the senator's Congressional Hispanic Caucus jacket with his name embroidered in yellow.

What are we doing to reverse all of those "government acts"?

Letting them continue to 'get away with it'?

First Menendez indictment

Menendez was also indicted a decade ago. A 2017 investigation probed ties between Menendez and his longtime friend and donor Salomon Melgen. They stood trial in federal court in connection with alleged favors given to Melgen after he paid for trips and expenses for Menendez.

Kelly:Bob Menendez again plays victim as he faces new federal charges. Are we surprised?

In that case, Menendez was accused of taking campaign donations and lavish trips from Melgen, a south Florida ophthalmologist. Menendez denied that the benefits from Melgen were bribes, and said the gifts came from a longtime personal friend. The senator's trial ended in a mistrial after that jury voted 10-2 for acquittal. Prosecutors eventually chose not to retry the case.

Senator Menendez was indicted once before. Here's a history of his legal woes

The prior indictment came a decade ago. Menendez has long been a target of prosecutors but has never been convicted of a crime.
