After emigrating to New Jersey from Egypt, Wael Hana faced a string of business and legal problems. Then his friend started dating a powerful U.S. senator.
Federal prosecutors have accused Senator Robert Menendez of New Jersey and his wife, Nadine, of accepting bribes in exchange for official actions by Mr. Menendez.
Unlike her husband, Nadine Menendez has lived a mainly private life. Investigators appear focused on the possibility that she or the senator received undisclosed gifts.
