Sen. Bob Menendez's co-defendant Jose Uribe pleads guilty in bribery case, says he'll cooperate
[NYP] A New Jersey businessman accused of bribing Sen. Bob Menendez pleaded guilty Friday to a superseding indictment alleging he helped the Democrat and his wife purchase a Mercedes-Benz convertible in exchange for the powerful lawmaker protecting one of the businessman’s colleagues from a state investigation over insurance fraud.
It's not you we're after Jose, it's Bob. Please give us the names, dates, and fotos. We're here to help you.
Jose Uribe, a former insurance agent in Menendez’s hometown of Union City, copped to seven counts during a Manhattan federal court hearing, including charges of wire fraud, obstruction of justice and tax evasion — and agreed to "cooperate fully" with investigators, court filings show.

US District Judge Sidney Stein accepted Uribe’s guilty plea and set a sentencing hearing for June 14. Uribe faces up to 95 years in prison if given the maximum sentence on all counts, but his actual penalty will be greatly reduced from that figure.

Uribe’s attorney Daniel Fetterman and a spokesman for the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York declined to comment.

Robert Luskin, an attorney for Menendez, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
